Celery, Essence Of

Put an ounce of pounded celery-seed into a bottle, and pour over it half a pint of spirits of wine, white wine, or brandy. Let this infuse for three weeks, then strain and bottle for use. When wanted, put a few drops upon a lump of sugar, and throw it into the pan, and the flavour will immediately diffuse itself throughout. This is a pleasant addition to salads. Four or five drops on a small lump of sugar will be sufficient for a pint. Probable cost, 2d., exclusive of the spirit.
