of
Peach
Blossoms.
Simple
syrup,
quart
and
a
half
;
blanched
bitter
almonds,
half
a
pound
;
sweet
almonds,
blanched,
one
pound
;
rub
the
almonds
to
a
paste
in
a
mortar,
with
five
ounces
of
orange
flower
water,
and
strain
the
mass
through
a
coarse

;
add
to
this
strained
product
four
ounces
es-
sence
of
lemon
;
half
an
ounce
balsam
of
Peru
;
half
an
ounce
spirit
of
nutmegs
;
warm
the
syrup
and
mix.
This
syrup
is
sometimes
colored
a
peach
blossom
color,
with
cochineal
;
when
this
is
desired
the
sy-
rup
will
have
to
be
made
with
water
colored
with
cochineal,
and
the
ingredients
added
while
the
syrup
is
cooling.
The
other
plan
is
to
color
the
syrup
by
the
addition
of
red
rose
syrup,
or
by
a
strong
iincture
of
cochineal
in
spirit.

hol,

of

of

of
each
eight
drops
;

the
spirit
containing
the

not
medicated,
and
will
not
create
an
unpleasant
sensation
in
the
weakest
stomach,
and
yet
it
contains
all
that
is
per-
ceptible
to
the
palate
of
the
medicated
formula.
