Gingerade

Bruise a quarter of a pound of ginger root and cover with two quarts of water for one hour. Strain through a jelly bag, add three pounds of loaf sugar to the juice, and boil for an hour. Skim. When cold add one ounce of citric acid, and bottle. To serve, take one tablespoonful of the syrup to a glass of water, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda.
