NOYEAU, IMITATION (another way, for immediate use)

Gather a quarter of a pound of young peach leaves on a dry, sunny day. Put them into a jar, and pour over them two pints of good brandy or whisky, and leave them to infuse for a couple of days. Add a syrup made by dissolving a pound of sugar in a pint of water. Let the noyeau remain a few hours longer, then filter it carefully, and it is ready for use. Probable cost, uncertain, peach leaves being seldom sold. Sufficient for three pints and a half of noyeau.
