I once overheard two ladies talking in the next room to me, and one of them said ' Well, if I have a weakness for any one thing, it is for a mint julep!
Sayfa 59 - Dissolve four or five lumps of sugar in a quarter of a pint of boiling water, with a little very thin lemon peel ; let it stand a quarter of an hour ; add one bottle of the above wines ; three or four leaves of burrage, or...

Sayfa 63 - ... (but no pips), and pour over the whole a quart of boiling water. When the sugar is dissolved, strain the lemonade through a fine sieve or piece of muslin, and, when cool, it will be ready for use.
