Take 1 quart of vinegar.

3 quarts of ripe raspberries.

After standing a day, strain it, adding to each pint a pound of sugar, and skim it clear, while boiling about half an hour. Put a wine-glass of brandy to each pint of the shrub, when cool.

Two spoonfuls of this mixed with a tumbler of water, is an excellent drink in warm weather and in fevers.

 

Take 2 quarts of brandy.

1 quart of Sherry.

2 pounds of loaf-sugar dissolved in sufficient water.

5 lemons.

Peel the rinds of two of the lemons, add the juice of all five, and mix with the brandy. Cover it close for three days; then add the Sherry and sugar, strain through a jelly-bag and bottle.

 


 * Take 3 gallons of best Jamaica rum.
 * 1 quart of orange juice.
