  • About

Under this heading are classed those delightful Beverages of fruits or nuts, served by the Creole housewives during the summer season. Of a hot, sultry day, if you enter a well-regulated Creole household, the first thing Madame will do will be to regale you with a glass of Lemonade, or iced Orgeat, or iced Pineapple, etc. The Syrups are put up and bottled by Madame herself and are always at hand. Madame always prepares a nice cooling glass of Sirop for her guests. In a few moments you will see her enter the parlor or sitting-room with a dainty silver salver, covered with a snowy napkin, and bearing, according to the number of visitors, the glasses of iced Sirop. Of an evening, as the family sits out on the Esplanade or the gallery to enjoy the freshening breezes, she will come again unbidden to bring the daily refreshing Summer Drink. It is all these pretty little customs and touches that make life in a Creole household pleasant and full of variety.
