one
and
a
half
pints
of
sugar
coloring,
and
a
tumbler
or
glass
full
of
tincture
of
ed
sanders,
which
gives
a
slight
reddish
tinge
to
the
fluid,
which
makes
it
very
desirable,
and
causes
it
to
sample
well
;
and
is
a
great
improvement
on
the old
style
of
coloring.
This
spirit
is
sometimes
prepared
without
the
filtering
process,
though
if
the
mixture
had
been
filtered,
it
would
have
greatly
improved
its
general
qualities.
All
liquors
made
according
to
this
plan
should
be
filtered
before
the
stimulants,
coloring,
<fcc.,
are
added.
