BRANDY.

87

days,

and

then

add

sulphuric

ether,

one

ounce

;

acetio

ether,

three

ounces

;

oil

of

lemon,

fifty

drops

;

dis-

solve

in

the

ether,

one

of

ambergris

well

rubbed

up

in

sugar,

and

the

whole

well

mixed

and

colored

as

for

other

brandies.

But

the

new

mode

consists

of

coloring

this

brandy

yellow,

with

a

half

ounce,

or

more

if

the

color

is

desired

of

a

deeper

yellow,

with

gamboge.

If

the

whiskey

used

for

this

purpose,

should

be

bright

or

clear

of

coloring,

the

brandy

will

be

of

a

fine

yellow

color,

but

if

the

whiskey

should

be

colored,

as

it

usually

is,

the

tincture

of

red

san-

ders

wood

and

burnt

sugar

should

be

added

to

bring

the

spirit

to

the

usual color

of

the

common

brandies,

allowing

the

red

color

to

predominate.
