Cinnamon Cordial

Pour three-pennyworth of oil of cinnamon upon eight or nine large lumps of sugar, and put them into a large bottle with a quart of brandy, whisky, or gin, and half a pound of sugar boiled to a syrup, with a cupful of water. Shake all well together, and let the bottle remain in a cool place for a few days; then strain or filter the liquid until it becomes bright and clear. Bottle for use. Time to infuse, a week. Probable cost, uncertain, depending on the spirits. Sufficient for one quart of cordial.
