Nutmeg, Tincture Of

Grate three ounces of nutmeg; put the powder into a quart bottle, and fill it up with good brandy or spirits of wine. Cork it, and shake it well every day for a fortnight, then pour off the liquid, leaving the sediment behind. Put the tincture into small bottles, cork these closely, and store for use. Probable cost, according to the quality of the spirit. Sufficient, three drops to flavour half a pint of liquid.
