"Grapefruit Wine: cut three grapefruit into thin slices, add two quarts of cold water and let stand for ten days, turning every other day; add 2lb of sugar, and let stand for another eight days; then put through a sieve to another dish, and let stand for another two days. Bottle, and it will be ready for use in three weeks; it is a very good pick-me-up. Mrs. M.P.Davies, Carnarvonshire"
