Whiskey Cordial

This cordial should be made when white currants are in season. Take the thin rind of a large fresh lemon entirely free from the white bitter part. Put it into a jar with half a pint of ripe white currants stripped from the stalks and a piece of whole ginger the size of a bean. Pour over the ingredients a quart of whiskey, and let them infuse for twenty-four hours. Strain the liquor, sweeten with half a pound of loaf sugar, let it stand twelve hours longer, and bottle for use. Cork securely. Time, two days.
