Gopher Orange Ice

3 pt Water

4 c Sugar

1 c Lemon juice

1 1/2 c Orange juice

1 Egg whites

1 tb Sugar

Make a syrup of water and sugar; when cool add lemon juice and orange juice; freeze and when half frozen add egg white, beaten well with sugar. Thoroughly beat it with the ice, finish freezing and serve. Strawberries or slices of pineapples gently stirred through just before serving (if added too long before, they freeze and are unpleasant to eat) make a delicious variety. *Pineapple Ice* may be made of canned pineapple using pint of juice, and gill lemon juice with above proportion of syrup, adding the pine-apple cut in dice just before serving, if wished. With all ices if is always add a gill of lemon juice, as the acid assists in the freezing and also adds to the flavor. Any proportions of the recipe may be made; above makes about two dozen dishes.

Ginger Soft Drink

Ingredients
6cupswater, boiling
1cupginger root, fresh, peeled and grated
1cupsugar
2teaspoonscloves, whole
4eachcinnamon sticks
1/2cuplime juice, or lemon, fresh juice
1cuporange juice
8cupscool water

Directions:

“Many variations of homemade ginger beers (soft drinks) are brewed all over sub-Saharan Africa. Fresh ginger makes a spicy drink, cooling in summer, warming in winter and always refreshing and energizing. Fruit juices other than the citrus called for below, make interesting variations in its flavour. When using other juices, I always add the juice of a couple of lemons or limes. This recipe makes a concentrate that can be diluted with plain or sparkling water.”

Pour the boiling water over the grated ginger root, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large nonreactive pot or bowl (enamel, glass or stainless steel).

Cover and set aside in a warm place, in the sun if possible, for at least an hour.

Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cloth. Add the juices and water. Set aside in a warm place for another hour or so.

Gently strain the liquid again, taking care not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. Store in the refrigerator in a large nonreactive container. A glass gallon jar or jug works well.

Serve warm, chilled or on ice, either as is or diluted with water or sparkling water. A squeeze of fresh lime juice in each glass of ginger drink is “the cat’s meow”.

MAKES: 3 QUARTS OF CONCENTRATE
