Bradley, Richard

"The Country Housewife and Lady's Director in the Management of a House, and the Delights and Profits of a Farm"

If when this
Composition is made, it seems to be too high a Cordial for the Stomach, put
to it more Brandy, till you reduce it to the Temper you like. This is the
same Receipt King _William_ had when he was in _Ireland_.

To make Green _Usquebaugh._
To every Gallon of _French_-Brandy put one Ounce of Anniseeds, and another
of sweet Fennel-Seeds, two Drachms of Coriander-Seeds. Let these infuse
nine Days, then take of the Spirit of Saffron one Drachm, distil'd from
Spirit of Wine, mix with the rest; infuse during this time some Liquorice
sliced in Spirits, one Pound of Raisins of the Sun, and filter it; put then
a Quart of pure White-Wine to a Gallon of the Liquor, and when all is mix'd
together, take the Juice of Spinach boil'd, enough to colour it; but do not
put the Spinach Juice into the Liquor till it is cold. To this put one
Pound of white Sugar candied, finely powder'd, to a Gallon of Liquor.

To make a _Cabbage-Pudding;_ from a Gentlewoman in _Suffolk,_ as it was
written by herself.
Sir,
You will excuse me, if I send you a Receipt for a Pudding, which is
accounted so agreeable by my Acquaintance, that they think it worth a place
in your Book, call'd, _The Lady's Monthly Director_, in the Management of
the several Products of a Farm.
