Boil three pints of water with an ounce and a half of tamarinds, three ounces of currants, and two ounces of stoned raisins, till near a third be consumed. Strain it.
A most pleasant Drink.
Put a teacupful of cranberries into a cup of water, and mash them. In the mean time boil two quarters and a pint of water with one large spoonful of oatmeal, and a very large bit of lemonpeel: then add the cranberries, and as much fine Lisbon sugar as shall leave a smart flavour of the fruit; and a quarter of a pint of sherry or less, as may be proper; boil all for half an hour, and strain off.
Whey.
That of cheese is a very wholesome drink, especially when the cows are in fresh herbage.
White Wine whey.
Put half a pint of new milk on the fire; the moment it boils up, pour in as much sound raisin wine as will completely turn it, and it looks clear; let it boil up, then set the saucepan aside till the curd subsides, and do not stir it. Pour the whey off, and add to it half a pint of boiling water, and a bit of white sugar. Thus you will have a whey perfectly cleared of milky particles, and as weak as you choose to make it.
Vinegar and Lemon wheys.
Pour into boiling milk as above, and when clear, dilute with boiling water, and put a bit or two of sugar.
