Essence of Lavender (Extrait de Lavande).
| Oil of lavender | 7 oz. |
| Alcohol | 5 qts. |
A far superior essence may be prepared by the distillation of:
| Oil of lavender | 7 oz. |
| Rose water | 2 qts. |
| Alcohol | 10 qts. |
The distillation is continued until one-half of the entire liquid has passed over; the residue in the still furnishes an essence of lavender of the second quality.
