A quick question

Does anyone know what the rather rancid looking liquid Henry drinks when he is visiting Fullerton is? It's while he's talking to Mrs Morland, before he proposes.

I believe it's homemade lemonade, a beverage which features in more period dramas. So, really not so rancid at all.

Lemonade? Really? I never knew lemons were widely available in Wiltshire, at that time, lol.

Thanks for the reply.
