“Cold (hydrant) water.” Is hydrant a measure of cold? I really, really hope that’s a measure of cold and not an origin.
From a box sold in San Antonio, Texas.
7 Minute Frosting
2 egg whites
1-1/2 c. sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup or 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup cold (hydrant) water

1 teaspoon vanilla
Place all ingredients, except vanilla, in a double boiler. Mix thoroughly.
Cook, beating constantly, until mixture forms peaks. Remove from heat.
