Red Liquor to Colour Cordials, Etc

Take half a pound of boiled beetroot sliced, half an ounce of Jamaica pepper in powder, a quarter of an ounce of cinnamon, three ounces of sugar-candy broken small, one pint of pure water, and one pint of proof spirit of wine. Put these ingredients into a stone jar, tie closely over with wet bladder, set it in a pan of hot water for six or seven hours, then let it stand for a week; strain, and filter. Bottle it, and seal the corks; it will keep many months.
