Home-made Soda Water

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 pounds of granulated sugar
• 1 3/4 ounces of tartaric acid
• 1 pint of water
• whites of 3 eggs
• 1/2 ounce of ginger extract
• 1/4 teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda for each glass

Instructions

Boil the sugar, water and tartaric acid five minutes. When nearly cold beat into the syrup the whites of the eggs, beaten until foamy, and the flavoring extract. Store in a fruit jar, closely covered. To use, put three tablespoonfuls into a glass half full of cold water, stir in one-fourth a teaspoonful of soda, and drink while effervescing. A pint of any kind of fruit juice may displace the water, when a teaspoonful of lemon juice should be added to the contents of each glass before stirring in the soda.
