WELSH NECTAR (a pleasant summer beverage)

Cut the peel of three lemons very thin, and put the rind into a jar with the strained juice, two pounds of loaf sugar, and a pound of raisins stoned and chopped small. Pour upon these ingredients two gallons of water which has been boiled and allowed to cool. Stir the liquor daily for five days, strain it through a jelly-bag, bottle it, and tie down the cork. It will be fit for use in ten days or a fortnight. Time, five days to make the nectar. Probable cost, 1s. per gallon. Sufficient to make two gallons.
