Pare four fresh lemons very thin, so as to get none of the white part.
Soak the rinds twelve hours in half a pint of cold water, then add the
juice of the lemons, and half a pint more of cold water. Beat to a froth
the whites of eight eggs, and the yelks of three--strain the lemon-juice
and water, mix it with the eggs--set the whole on a few coals, sweeten
it with double refined sugar, stir it till it grows thick, then take it
from the fire, stir it till cold--serve it up in glasses.
