ORANGE LIQUEUR (another way)

Take the thin rind of two Seville oranges, and put it into an earthen jar with a pinch of saffron and a pint and a half of best gin. Leave the vessel in a warm place for a week, then add half a pound of sugar, boiled to a syrup, with a quarter of a pint of water, and let it remain four weeks longer. Filter the liqueur through blotting-paper, and bottle for use. Probable cost, exclusive of the spirit, 5d. Sufficient for a quart of liqueur.
