Apple Water

Bake before the fire two or three medium-sized sour apples until soft and richly browned. Put them in a warm pitcher or bowl, add a pinch of salt and a little sugar, if desired, mash and break them until the seeds are released from the cores, then pour a quart of boiling water over them. Cover the pitcher, let stand seven minutes, then strain off the water. Apple water can be used either warm or cold. A great variety of refreshing drinks may be made for invalids by pouring boiling water over crushed fruit, adding a dash of salt and sugar to taste and stirring well together. All fruit preparations may be served hot or cold.
