Fruit Syrups

Raspberry, Strawberry, Pineapple and Sarsaparilla Syrups, without the fruit

Directions also to use the fruit.-The ground work of all Syrups are uniformly the same, i. e., Simple Syrup; to, make it, take 2 1-2 lbs. of the best Coffee Sugar, which is found not to crystalize, and water 1 pt.; or what is the same, 60 lbs. sugar, water, 3 gals. Dissolve the sugar in the water by heat, removing any scum which forms upon it, and strain while hot. This can be kept in a barrel or keg, and is always ready to make any flavor, as desired.

Raspberry, artificial, flavor is made as follows: Take Orris root bruised any quantity, say 1-4 lb., and just handsomely cover it with the dilute alcohol or proof spirit, so that it cannot be made stronger of the root. This is called the "Saturated Tincture;"' and use sufficient of this tincture to give the desired or natural taste of the Raspberry, from which it cannot be distinguished. Flavor only as used, or sold.
