THE
COMPLETE
PRACTICAL
DISTILLER.
the
whole
stand
fourteen
days
;
then
draw
off,
and
add
to
the
clear
noyau
as
much
rose-water
as
will
make
it
up
to
2
gallons,
which
will
be
near
half
a
gallon.
PEPPERMINT
CORDIAL.
As
this
is
easily
and
cheaply
made,
every
family
should
make
it
for
their
own
consumption.
Take
of
rectified
spi-
rits
13
gallons;
12
pounds
of
loaf-sugar;
1
pint
of
spirits
of
wine;
15
pennyweights
(troy) of
oil
of
peppermint;
water,
as
much
as
will
fill
up
the
cask,
(20
gallons;)
which
should
be
set
up
on
end
after
the
whole
has
been
well
roused,
and
a
cock
for
drawing
off
placed
in
it.
PROCESS
OF
MAKING
ANISEED
CORDIAL.
Take
of
spirits
14
gallons
;
spirits
of
wine,
1
pint
from
6
to
8
pounds
of
loaf-sugar
;
1
J
ounce
of
oil
of
ani-
seed;
2
ounces
of
finely
powdered
alum.
Dissolve
the
sugar
in
one
part
of
the
water
used
for
making
up,
and
the
alum
in
the
remainder,
and
proceed
as
directed
in
the
making
up
of
peppermint
cordial.
Aniseed
cordial
does
not
bear
to
be
reduced
below
one
in
five,
as
part
of
the
oil
will
separate
when
too
much
lowered,
and
render
the
goods
quite
unsightly
indeed.
