CURRANT ICE WATER

Press the juice from ripe currants, strain, add a pound of sugar to every pint of juice. The sugar may be dissolved either by stirring it in the juice in a saucepan over the fire, or putting it in bottles, setting them over the fire in a sauce- pan of cold water, allowing them to become gradually heated to a boiling point. When cold they should be taken out, corked, sealed, and put in a cool, dry place. Mix with ice water or Shasta water for a beverage. The juice of other acid fruits may be preserved in the same manner.
