Orange Liqueur

Stick half a dozen cloves into a fine Seville orange, put it into an earthen jar with one pint and a half of rectified spirits, or best gin, and leave it for a month. Boil one pound and a quarter of loaf sugar quickly with half a pint of water, pour it into the spirit, and leave it for another month. Filter the liqueur through blotting-paper, pour it into bottles, cork securely, and store for use. Probable cost, exclusive of the spirit, 7d. Sufficient for nearly three pints of liqueur.
