Mock Arrack

Dissolve two scruples of flowers of benjamin in a quart of good rum, and it will give it the flavour of the finest arrack.

Spirituous Syrup Of Tea

Pour a quarter pint of water on three ounces, avoirdupois weight, of fine young hyson; let it stand an hour, and add to it a pint of brandy, or proof spirit; let it steep for ten days, shaking it up every day; strain it, and sweeten it with strong clarified syrup.

Observations

A teaspoonful or two of this in a tumbler of water, is a very refreshing beverage in summer.
