CEDRAT
CORDIAL
The
cedrat
is
a
species
of
citron,
and
very
highly
esteemed
in
Italy,
where
it
grows
naturally.
The
fruit
is
difficult
to
be
pro-
cured
in
this
country,
but
as
the
essential
oil
is
often
imported
from
Italy,
it
may
be
made
as follows:
Take
two
ounces
of
the
finest
loaf
sugar,
powdered.
Put
it
into
a
glass
mortar,
with
sixty
drops
of
the
essence
of
cedrat;
rub
them
together
with
a
glass
pestle,
and
put
them
into
a
glass
alembic
with
two
quarts
of
fine
proof
spirit
and
one
pint
of
water.
Place
the
alembic
in
a
bath,
heat
and
draw
off
one-half
gallon,
or
till
the
feints
begin
to
rise;
then
dulcify
with
fine
sugar.
This
is
considered
the
finest
cordial
yet
known;
it
will
therefore
be
necessary
to
be
particularly
careful
that the
spirit
is
per-
fectly
clean,
and
as
much
as
possible
free
from
any
flavor
of
its
own.
CINNAMON
CORDIAL
This
is
seldom
made
with
cinnamon,
but
with
either
the
essential
oil
or
bark
of
cassia.
It
is
preferred
colored,
and
there-
fore
may
be
well
prepared
by
simple
fermen-
tation.
If
the
oil
be
used,
one
dram
will
be
found
enough
for
two
or
three
gallons
