Ginger Syrup

Break three-quarters of a pound of ginger-root into small pieces. Boil it gently with four quarts of water, and the thin rind of a lemon, until the water is reduced one-half. Strain, and boil again with five pounds of loaf sugar. Remove the scum carefully till no more rises; and when the syrup is cold, bottle it for use. Time, five hours. Probable cost, 2s. 8d. Sufficient for three quarts of syrup.
