Soda Nectar.

(Use large soda-glass.)

• Take the juice of 1 lemon.
• Take ¾ tumblerful of water.
• Take Powdered white sugar to taste.
• Take 2 or 3 small lumps of ice.
• Take ½ small tea-spoonful of carbonate of soda.

Strain the juice of the lemon, and add it to the water, with sufficient white sugar to sweeten the whole nicely, and stir up until cool. When well mixed, put in the soda, stir well, and drink while the mixture is in an effervescing state.
