To three quarts of fresh, ripe raspberries, put one of good vinegar. Let
it remain a day--then strain it, and put to each pint a pound of white
sugar. Boil the whole together for half an hour, skim it clear. When
cool, add a wine glass of French brandy to each pint of the shrub. A
couple of table-spoonsful of this, mixed with a tumbler two-thirds full
of water, is a wholesome and refreshing drink in fevers.
