Highland Cordial (Traditional Recipe)

White currants, lemon, ginger, sugar, whisky. Take a pint of white currants stripped of their stalks, the thin peel of a lemon, a teaspoonful of essence of ginger, and a bottle of whisky. Mix and stand for forty-eight hours. Strain, add a pound of loaf sugar, and stand for a day to dissolve. Bottle and cork. It will be ready in three months, but will keep longer.
