Pine-Apple Water

Peel, slice, and pound an eighteenpenny foreign pine, until well pulped; take this up into a basin, pour in a pint of boiling syrup; add the juice of a lemon, stir together, cover over with a plate, and when the whole has steeped for a couple of hours, filter through a silk sieve, or beaver jelly-bag; add a quart of spring-water.
