Powdered Soft Drinks
Dear Aunt Daisy, Please could you help me? I have a friend overseas who is very fond of home-made soft drinks. Do you know of any that could be made in powdered form? I thought a sherbet of some kind might serve, but have no recipe.
Sherbet
(Masterton).
Yes, I am fortunate enough to have one or two trade recipes for powdered drinks. You had better make a small quantity first, and try it at home, before sending it overseas. Sherbet--Half a pound of finely powdered sugar; ¥% Ib. tartaric acid; lb. carbonate of soda; and about 40 drops of essence of lemon. Dry the powders well, add the lemon to the sugar, put in the other powders, and
mix thoroughly, Keep dry in a tightly corked bottle. A teaspoon to a glass of water makes a nice drink. Lemon Kali-Half a pound of ground white sugar; % Ib, tattaric acid; Y% Ib. carbonate of soda; and about 40 drops of essence of lemon. See that the powders are well dried; add the essence to the sugar, then mix all well and pass through very fine sieve. Keep in tightly corked bottles. Icing sugar may be used. Two small teaspoons to a glass, or more or less to taste. Lemonade Tablets---One pound of castor sugar; % oz. tartaric acid; and 14, oz. essential oil of lemon, Spread
the sugar on a piece of paper, and sptinkle the flavouring all over it. Rub with the hands, and put in the oven to dry, turning occasionally. When pertectly dry, mix in the tartaric acid, and keep in airtight tins in a dry place. This is non-effervescent. Lemonade Tablets No. 2.-These are non-effervescent, too. 1 oz. tartaric acid; 4 oz. castor sugar; 1 drachm essence of lemon. Mix these ingredients well together, and damp with pure spirit to make a dough, Divide into 20 equal portions, wrap them carefully into separate papers, and store for use in airtight tins. Each portion is sufficient for one. glass of lemonade. Buy
the pure spirit from the chemist, and tell. him it is for internal use, and he will give you the right stuff. Fruit Salts-Two ounces of tartaric acid; 2 oz. bicarbonate of soda; 2 oz. cream of tartar; 6 oz. castor sugar; and 1 oz. Epsom salts. Mix well together, bottle, and keep in a dry place.
