23. CORIANDER CORDIALi

5^ pound coriander seeds, ounce of caraways, and the peel and juice of orange to every gallon of proof spirit.

24. GINGER CORDIAL Pick I pound of large white currants from their stalks, lay them in a basin, and strew over them the rind of an orange and a lemon cut very thin, or teaspoonful of essence of lemon, and i ounce and one-half of the best ground ginger, and i quart of good whiskey. Let all lie for 24 hours. If it tastes strong of the ginger, then strain it; if not, let it lie for 12 hours longer. To every quart of strained juice add i pound of loaf sugar pounded. When the sugar is quite dissolved, and the liquor appears clear, bottle it. This cordial is also extremely good made with raspberries instead of currants. 25. LEMON CORDIAL Pare off very thin the yellow rind of some fine lemons. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. To each pint of the juice allow 3/2 pound of loaf sugar. Mix the juice, the peel, and the sugar together. Cover it and let it set 24 hours. Then mix it with an equal quantity of white brandy. Put it into a jug, and let it set a month. Then strain through a linen bag and afterward through blotting-paper before you bottle it.
