Shrub, Lemon or Orange

Take two lemons and six Seville oranges, or, if preferred, take eight sweet oranges. Grate off the rinds, and squeeze out the juice, then with each quart of juice put three pounds of powdered loaf sugar. Stir the sugar till it is dissolved, and put two quarts of best Jamaica rum with each quart of juice. Put the mixture into a cask, and shake it three times a day for three weeks. Let it stand in a cool place till clear. Filter, and bottle for use. (See ORANGE OR LEMON SHRUB.)
