Vintage Recipes

These are a couple of recipes I got that are from the Edwardian era (c. 1905).  No scans, unfortunately, but I got them from a BBC website on a shows about Edwardian culture:

Edwardian Champagne Cup

Serves 10

• 2 oranges, sliced
• ¹/₂ cucumber, sliced

Put the Champagne, sliced oranges, mint, cucumber, into a jug or bowl. Add the orange Curacao, brandy and soda water. Stir until blended. Serve in tumblers over ice.
