Herbs, Aromatic Powdered, for Seasoning

Dry and pick away the stalks from three ounces of thyme, three ounces of marjoram, three ounces of basil, one ounce of bay-leaves, and two ounces of winter savoury; put them into a mortar, and with them two cloves of garlic finely minced, half an ounce of grated lemon-peel, half an ounce of cayenne pepper, one ounce of nutmeg, grated, one ounce of powdered mace, two ounces of peppercorns, and two ounces of cloves. Pound all thoroughly in a mortar, pass the powder through a wire sieve, and put it into bottles, which must be securely corked until wanted. Time, one hour to prepare. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. for this quantity. Half a tea-spoonful is enough for one pint of sauce.
