THE
COMPLETE
PRACTICAL
DISTILLER.
COMPOUND
LAVENDER
WATER.
Some
persons
much
prefer
this
to
the
simple lavender
water
just
spoken
of.
It
is
made
thus
;
—
Take
of
simple
lavender
water,
2
gallons
;
of
Hungary
water,
1
gallon
cinnamon
and
nutmegs,
of
each
3
ounces
;
red
sanders,
1
ounce.
Digest
the
whole
three
days
in
a
gentle
heat,
and
then
filter
it
for
use.
Some
add
saffron,
musk,
and
ambergris,
of
each
half
a
scruple.
HUNGARY
WATER.
Take
of
the
flowery
tops,
with
the
leaves
and
flowers
of
rosemary,
14
pounds;
rectified
spirit,
11
J
gallons;
water,
1
gallon.
Distil
off
10
gallons
with
a
moderate
fire.
If
you
perform
this
operation
in
balneum
marise^
your
Hungary
water
will
be
much
finer
than
if
drawn
by
the
common
alembic.
This
is
called
Hungary
water,
not
because
"
Kossuth''
came
to
this
country,
(who,
by-the-by,
would
have
done
as
well
if
he
had
stayed
on
the
other
side
of
the
water,)
but
from
its
being
first
made
for
a
princess
of that
kingdom.
