Ratafia D'Angelique

Take a salt-spoonful of angelica-seeds, four ounces of angelica stalks, one ounce of blanched bitter almonds bruised, and six quarts of brandy or proof spirit. Digest for ten days, then filter. Add a quart of water and three pounds and a half of white sugar. Mix well, and after a fortnight decant the clear portion through a piece of clean flannel.
