Lemon or Orange Shrub

Take two lemons and six Seville oranges, grate off the rinds and squeeze out the juice; to one pint of juice add a pound and a half of powdered loaf sugar. Stir the sugar till it is dissolved, and add a quart of the best Jamaica rum. Pour it into a jar, and shake it three times daily for three weeks. Let it stand in a cool place till clear. Then filter, and bottle for use.
