Directions
Currants 4 pounds, sugar 3 pounds, water one gallon. Place the currants, stems and all, in a tub, and mash them well; add the water, set in a cool place and stir occasionally; continue the stirring for three days, then drain the liquor through a sieve, squeeze the pulp in a cloth, add the sugar, stirring until it is all dissolved, and put into a barrel or cask, which should stand in a dry, cool cellar. When fermentation is over, bung up tight and leave all winter. Rack off in spring before sec- ond fermentation, and bottle after second fermentation.
Roll six lemons well, slice thin in an earthen vessel, put over them two tea-cups white sugar, let stand fifteen minutes, add one gallon water and lumps of ice, pour into pitcher and serve. Some add soda after the glasses are filled, and stir rapidly for " sparkling lemonade."
