CURRANT WATER (a refreshing Summer drink)

Mix a quart of red currants and a cupful of raspberries. Bruise them well; pour over them two quarts of cold water, and add half a pound of loaf sugar. Put them into a preserving-pan, and when they begin to simmer, take them off, put with them a little writing-paper soaked in water till it is reduced to a pulp, to assist the clearing, and strain the liquid through a jellybag. Add as much sugar as is agreeable to the taste, and serve in glass jugs. Time, half an hour. Probable cost of currants, 4d. to 6d. per quart. Sufficient for three quarts of water.
