TOAST WATER.

501. Toast two or three slices of bread of a dark brown all the way through, but do not burn it. Put the toast in a deep bowl, and pour over it one quart of water, let it stand for two or three hours. Then pour the water from the bread.

Some flavor it by soaking a piece of lemon-peel with the bread.
