Toddy, American

Take the thin rind of two large lemons, and put it in a bowl with half a pound of sifted sugar and a pint of cold water, and let it soak until the liquor is pleasantly flavoured. Take out the rind, and in its place put a small quantity of fruit-three or four large ripe strawberries, a slice of pineapple, or a mellow peach peeled and sliced, will answer excellently. Ten minutes before the toddy is to be served add to the syrup a pint of best rum and a quarter of a pound of ice.
