Ice Orangeade
From "Directions for Cookery, in its Various Branches", 1840
Ingredients 1 1/2 pints of orange juice 1/2 pint of clear or filtered water 1/2 pound of powdered loaf-sugar 6 deep-coloured oranges Instructions Take orange juice, and mix it with the water. Stir in powdered loaf-sugar. Pare very thin the yellow rind of the oranges, cut in pieces, and lay it at the bottom of a bowl or tureen. Pour the orange juice and sugar upon it; cover it, and let it infuse an hour. Then strain the liquid into a freezer, and proceed as for ice cream. When it is frozen, put it into a mould, (it will look best in the form of a pine-apple,) and freeze it a second time. Serve it in glass cups, with any sort of very nice sweet cakes. Ice lemonade may be made in the above manner, but with a larger proportion of sugar. The juice of pine-apples, strawberries, raspberries, currants and cherries, may be prepared and frozen according to the above receipts. They will freeze in a shorter time than if mixed with cream, but are very inferior in richness.
