Rum Shrub.

(To make nearly four gallons.)

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

  • Take 1 pint of lemon juice.
  • Take 6 pounds of powdered sugar dissolved in sufficient water.
  • Take 3 pints of fresh milk.

Mix together all but the milk, and let them remain closely covered over night. Next day boil the milk; and when cold, add it to the mixture. Filter through a flannel bag lined with blotting paper, and bottle, corking immediately.
