toasted on one side only and laid upon the bread, and then browned with
a salamander.

ripe white currants and put them into a large jug ; add the rind of two
lemons, a quarter of an ounce of grated ginger, and a quart of whisky ;
cover the jug closely, and let it remain covered for twenty-four hours.
Strain through a hair sieve, add one pound of lump sugar✪ Whisky Cordial, and let it stand
for twelve hours longer ; then bottle, and cork well.

a large tumbler holding quite half a pint, and put a dessert-spoonful of
ale or stout, with two slices of lemon, in the same ; then fill a good-sized
wineglass with whisky✪ Whisky Toddy, An Improved Method of Making ; place the wineglass containing the whisky up-
right in the centre of the tumbler, and pour boiling water into the wine-
glass, thereby causing the liquid to run over into the tumbler, until it is
