What is milk lemonade?

A chilled invalid drink from Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914, p. 658), made from milk, sugar and water that are boiled, cooled and mixed with white wine and lemon juice before being strained. The recipe makes about 2 servings.

Why must the mixture be cooled before the wine and lemon juice are added?

Because acid and wine in hot milk make the milk curdle. That is why milk, sugar and water are boiled first, poured out and cooled, and only then are 3/4 dl white wine and 2 tablespoons lemon juice added. Finally the drink is strained.

How long does it take?

Around 45 minutes in all, but most of it is cooling – the actual work is just a boil and a straining.
