Imitation Lemon Juice (This is an excellent)

This is an excellent substitute for lemon juice, and keeps well in a cool place. Dissolve 14 ounces citric acid, 45 grains carbonate of potassa, and 24 ounces white sugar in 1 pint cold water; add the yellow peel of a lemon, and, in 24 hours, strain through muslin or a hair lemon. Let the powders be very dry. Mix sieve. Instead of the lemon peel, 15 or 16 them intimately, and keep them for use in a wide-mouthed bottle, closely corked. Put 2 good-sized tea spoonfuls into a tumbler; pour in 1/2 pint of cold water, stir briskly, and drink off.
