Raspberry Cordial

Ingredients

• 1 quart ripe red raspberries
• 1 quart best French brandy
• 1 pound powdered loaf sugar
• water

1. Combine one quart of ripe red raspberries with one quart of best French brandy. Let it remain about a week.
2. Strain the mixture through a sieve or bag, pressing out all the liquid.
