Mint Syrup
Put a handful of mint leaves in a bowl and sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Bruise well and add one half pint of water to dissolve the sugar. Strain through cheesecloth, and add one pint strained honey, two teaspoonfuls of extract of vanilla, and two quarts of plain syrup. Bottle for use. This may be made into a delicious milk shake by putting two tablespoonfuls of the syrup in a glass, and adding enough milk to fill the glass, and an egg may be added to make an egg shake.
