STRAWBERRY WATER (a refreshing summer drink)

Take half a pound of finely-flavoured strawberries. Bruise them well in a basin with a wooden spoon, and mix with them four table-spoonfuls of finely-powdered sugar and a quarter of a pint of cold water. Rub them through a fine sieve, and filter what passes through the sieve till it is clear and bright. Wash the dregs in the sieve with a little cold water to prevent waste. Add the strained juice of half a lemon and a pint of cold water to the liquor, and put it in ice or in a cool place till wanted. Time, about an hour to prepare. Probable cost, 3d. per pint. Sufficient for about a quart of water.
