Seville Orange Cordial Water

Take one handful of young green fir-tree tops, two handfuls of water-cress, the same of scurvy-grass, one pound of burdock-roots scraped and sliced, the thin rinds of twelve Seville oranges, the juice of the same, and five gallons of newly-brewed ale-wort. Beat the herbs in a mortar, and infuse all while the wort is fermenting with the yeast. When done working, stop it up, and drink occasionally when fine.
