  1. Buy the fruit when cheap, keep it in a cool place until the colour becomes very yellow.
  2. Cut the peel off some lemons, and roll them under your hand to make them part with the juice more readily.
  3. Others you may leave unpared for grating, when the pulp shall be taken out and dried.
  4. Squeeze the juice into a China bason, then strain it through some linen which will not permit the least pulp to pass.
  5. Have ready some half and quarter ounce phials perfectly dry.
  6. Fill them with the juice so near to the top as only to admit half a teaspoonful of sweet oil into each; or a little more, if for larger bottles.
  7. Cork the bottles, and set them upright in a cool place.
  8. When you want lemonjuice, open such a sized bottle as you shall use in two or three days.
  9. Wind some clean cotton round a skewer, and dipping it in, the oil will be attracted; and when all shall be removed, the juice will be as fine as when first bottled.
  10. The peels hang up till dry, then keep them from the dust.

To keep Lemonjuice. Buy the fruit when cheap, keep it in a cool place until the colour becomes very yellow: cut the peel off some, and roll them under your hand to make them part with the juice more readily; others you may leave unpared for grating, when the pulp shall be taken out and dried. Squeeze the juice into a China bason, then strain it through some linen which will not permit the least pulp to pass. Have ready some half and quarter ounce phials perfectly dry: fill them with the juice so near to 210the top as only to admit half a teaspoonful of sweet oil into each; or a little more, if for larger bottles. Cork the bottles, and set them upright in a cool place. When you want lemonjuice, open such a sized bottle as you shall use in two or three days, wind some clean cotton round a skewer, and dipping it in, the oil will be attracted; and when all shall be removed, the juice will be as fine as when first bottled. The peels hang up till dry, then keep them from the dust.
