3 cups ripe red strawberries.
1 1/2 cups sugar.
1 1/2 cups water.
1/2 cup angelica or any sweet wine.
Cover the strawberries with the sugar and let remain some time to form a thick red syrup. Rub them through a strainer into the freezer with the syrup and add the water and wine and freeze without any extra beating.
Cost of material - strawberries 18, sugar 7, wine 12; 37 cents - ice and salt 18 - 55c for something over a quart, or about 5c per glass.
Note - In counting the cost observe that the addition of white of eggs or meringue increases the bulk of the material in the freezer according to the degree to which it is beaten and a punch a la Romaine heaped in a glass like ice cream may cost less each person than a punch plain frozen of much less volume.
Make the same as strawberry punch. Stronger wines can be used in it.
