Built upon: No. 2939Cherry Water
2940—Raspberry-flavoured, Red-currant Water
Rub through a sieve, over a basin, twelve oz. of red and white currants, and four oz. of very ripe raspberries. Add to the currant-water one pint of filtered water, six oz. of loaf-sugar, and one piece of washed ice. Keep the whole in the cool for twenty minutes, and stir it from time to time with a silver spoon, that the sugar may dissolve.
Degree the same as in No. 2939, Cherry Water.
