Honey Noyau, for Flavouring

Blanch and pound an ounce of sweet almonds and two ounces of bitter almonds; mix with them a pound of sifted sugar, and pour over them two pints of gin mixed with half a pint of milk, which has been boiled with a large table-spoonful of honey, and allowed to cool. Add the thin rind and strained juice of a large lemon, and pour all into a good-sized bottle. Shake the mixture frequently. In twelve days it will be ready for use. Filter through blotting-paper, and keep in bottles securely corked. Probable cost, 1s., exclusive of the gin. Sufficient for a little more than three pints of flavouring.
