Raspberry Shrub.
(To make one gallon.)
- Take 1 quart of vinegar.
- Take 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.
Brandy Shrub.
(To make three quarts.)
- Take 2 quarts of brandy.
- Take 1 quart of Sherry.
- Take 2 pounds of loaf-sugar dissolved in sufficient water.
- Take 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.
Rum Shrub.
(To make nearly four gallons.)
- Take 3 gallons of best Jamaica rum.
- Take 1 quart of orange juice.
