Strawberry Water Ice

Boil 1 pint of water and 3 teacupfuls of granulated sugar for about 10 minutes, skimming carefully. Remove from the fire and allow it to grow cold, then add 2 pints of strawberry juice. Many people think the flavor is improved by adding a little currant juice. Beat the mixture well together and freeze. Red raspberry ice made in the same way is also excellent.

Orange Water Ice

Rub sugar on the peel of 2 oranges and 1 lemon. Squeeze and strain the juice of the lemon and 6 oranges. Dissolve the flavored sugar with a little hot water, and mix with 1/2 pint of syrup. If too sweet, add a little water. Strain into the freezing-pot, and finish as lemon water ice.

Lemon Water Ice

Half a box of gelatine, dissolved in 1 pint cold water. Take the juice of 8 lemons and mix with 1 1/4 lbs. white sugar, then pour 1 quart of hot water on the sugar and lemons; pour 1 1/2 pints of boiling water over the gelatine, and when it is quite dissolved add to the rest of the ingredients. Strain and set away to cool; when cold whip 15 minutes, and freeze.
