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.
