Ginger Cordial

Pick two pounds of white or black currants. Bruise them slightly, and mix with them one ounce and a half of ground ginger. Pour over them one quart of good whisky or brandy, and let them stand for two days. Strain off the liquid, add one pound of loaf sugar, boiled to a syrup, with a small tea-cupful of water. Bottle, and cork closely for use. Probable cost, 1s. 3d., exclusive of the spirit. Sufficient for three pints of cordial.
