five minutes._ Set a little water on the fire with a glass of white wine, some sugar, and a scrape of nutmeg and lemonpeel; meanwhile grate some crumbs of bread. The moment the mixture boils up, keeping it still on the fire, put the crumbs in, and let it boil as fast as it can. When of a proper thickness just to drink, take it off. _Another._ As above, but instead of a glass of wine, put in a spoonful, a teaspoonful of rum, and a bit of butter; sugar as above. This is a most pleasant mess. _Another._ Put to the water a bit of lemonpeel, mix the crumbs in, and when nearly boiled enough, put some lemon or orange syrup. Observe to boil all the ingredients; for if any be added after, the panada will break, and not jelly. _Barleywater._ Boil an ounce of pearlbarley a few minutes to cleanse, then put on it a quart of water, simmer an hour; when half done, put into it a bit of fresh lemonpeel, and one bit of sugar. If likely to be too thick, you may put another quarter of a pint of water. _Common Barleywater._ Wash a handful of common barley, then simmer it gently in three pints of water with a bit of lemonpeel. This is less apt to nauseate than pearlbarley; but the former is a very pleasant drink. _A very agreeable Drink._ Into a tumbler of fresh cold water pour a table spoonful of capillaire; and the same of good vinegar. _Lemon water; a delightful drink._ Put two slices of lemon thinly pared into a teapot, and a little bit of the peel, and a bit of sugar, or a large spoonful of capillaire; pour in a pint of boiling water, and stop close. _Apple water._ Cut two large apples in slices, and pour a quart of boiling water on them; or on roasted apples. Tamarinds, currants fresh or in jelly, or scalded currants, or cranberries, make excellent drinks; with a little sugar or not, as may be agreeable. _Raspberry Vinegarwater. See page 240._ This
