Homemade "Strawberry Water"

Before the summer's over, try out this recipe from the 1887 edition of The
Original White House Cook Book:

"Take one cupful of ripe hulled berries; crush with a wooden spoon, mixing
with the mass a quarter of a pound of pulverized sugar and half a pint of
cold water. Pour the mixture into a fine sieve, rub through and filter till
clear; add the strained juice of one lemon and one and a half pints of cold
water, mix thoroughly, and set in ice-chest [refrigerator] till wanted.

This makes a nice, cool drink on a warm day, and easily to be made in
strawberry season."
