Lemon Sorbet
Sorbet de Citron
Take the very finely-cut peel of six large or eight small lemons and six ounces of loaf sugar, pour on to this one and a half pints of boiling water, and let it infuse till cold; then mix with it the juice from the lemons and strain or wring it through a clean tammy-cloth, pour the mixture into the charged freezing machine, and freeze to a semi-solid consistency; then flavour with a wineglass of Cognac brandy, a wineglassful of Marshall’s Maraschino Syrup, a wineglass of Madeira, and a wineglass of Silver Rays (white) rum. Prepare some ice-water cups (see recipe), fill them with the sorbet, arrange the cups on a dish-paper or folded serviette, and serve one to each person between the remove and the roast. These would also be nice to serve for dessert.
