Essence Of Ginger Recipe

Take three ounces of fresh ginger--grate and put it into a quart of

French brandy, together with the rind of a fresh lemon--none of the

white part of the peel should be put in. Shake the whole up well every

day, for eight or ten days--at the end of that time, it will be fit for

use. A little of this, mixed with water, or put on a lump of sugar,

answers all the purposes of ginger tea, and is much more palatable. It

is also nice to flavor many kinds of sweetmeats.
