powder'd, with some sweet Herbs powder'd, with a little Sage shred small,
and the Brains cut in pieces, and dip'd in thick Batter; then cover the Head with some bits of Butter, and pour in the Pan some White-Wine and Water, with as much Gravey, and cover it close. Then bake it in a quick Oven, and when you serve it, pour on some strong Gravey, and garnish with Lemon sliced, red Beet-Root pickled and sliced, and some fry'd Oysters, and fry'd Bread. To make Spirit of _Lilley_ of the _Valley._ From _Norway._ N.B. This serves in the room of _Orange-Flower-Water,_ in 'Puddings, and to perfume _Cakes;_ though it is drank as a Dram in _Norway._ Gather your Lilley-of-the-Valley Flowers, when they are dry, and pick them from the Stalks; then put a Quarter of a Pint of them into a Quart of Brandy, and so in proportion, to infuse six or eight Days; then distil it in a cold Still, marking the Bottles, as they are drawn off, which is first, second and third, _&c_. When you have distill'd them, take the first, and so on to the third or fourth, and mix them together, till you have as strong as you desire; and then bottle them, and cork them well, putting a lump of Loaf-Sugar into each Bottle. Things to be provided, when any great Family is going into the Country, for a Summer. From Mr. _R. S._ Nutmegs. |
