Currant Shrub

One pint of red currant juice, one quart of rum, and a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar.

Add the currant juice and rum to a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar pounded, and when the sugar is dissolved, and all well mixed, strain it through a flannel bag, and bottle it for use.

Lemonade Shrub

The juice of eight lemons; barberry juice, three ounces; loaf sugar, four ounces; white wine, half a pint; and the rinds of four of the lemons rubbed off on the sugar. Mix the whole together, and pass it through a filtering bag. Bottle, and use for making lemonade or sherbet.

Shrub, As Made In The West Indies
