SC - acid

[Joe Tolbert]

Gentles:
        Here is the recipe for the drink called acid:

6 pounds fruit (crushed, blackberries , plums,grapes,cherries etc)
2 1/2 ounces ( about 45 grams ) TARTARIC ACID
1 Quart cold water
  Let stand for 48 hours
  Strain. Discard seed etc.
  to each cup of juice add 1 cup sugar
  stir until sugar is dissolved 
  let stand a few days before bottling.

source : notebook of Julia E. D. Tolbert born ca 1875

notes : at different times we either used just a cloth or a 
        fermentation lock on jug / jar.

      : to serve , dilute with cold ( well ) water to taste
        serve over cracked ice if available.
