Orange or Lemon Shrub

Make a syrup by boiling a quart of strained orange or lemon-juice with four pounds of powdered loaf sugar. When quite clear, add a pint of rum to each half pint of syrup. Put the mixture into a perfectly sweet dry cask, and shake it twice a day for a fortnight; leave it for six weeks, when it may be drained off, and bottled. Time, two months to prepare.
