Vegetable Essences, to Extract

The flavour of various herbs may be extracted as follows. Pick the leaves, and put them in a warm place for an hour or two. Fill a large wide-mouthed bottle with them, and pour upon them wine, brandy, spirits of wine, or vinegar. Let them soak for a fortnight. Strain the liquor, and put it into small bottles for use.
