Juice of 2 lemons.
Juice of 3 oranges.
6 to 8 drops of peppermint.
Green coloring.
3 quarts of water.
Mix the water, lemon juice, and orange juice together, and add enough
sugar to sweeten to suit the taste. Then strain it and add enough green
coloring to make it a very pale green; then add the peppermint, which
will give it a peculiar flavor that is very fine.
Claret punch may be made in the same manner, only leave out the
peppermint and green coloring, and in their place add enough claret to
flavor and color it. Serve these cold.
