Ingredients: Four oranges.

Half a pint of boiling water. About a dozen lumps of sugar. Soda-water or seltzer water.

Wash and wipe the oranges, then cut off the rinds very thinly, put them in a jug with the sugar and boiling water, and strain in the orange juice. Cover the jug and put it away until the contents are quite cold. Pour about a quarter of it into a glass, fill it up with soda or seltzer water, and, if permitted, add a small lump of ice and serve.
