Jamaica Pepper Water.
Take of Jamaica pepper, half a pound; water, a gallon and a half. Distil off one gallon.
This is a very elegant distilled water, and may in most cases supply the place of the more costly spice waters.
SPIRITUOUS DISTILLED WATERS.
Spirituous Cinnamon Water.
Take of cinnamon bark, one pound; proof spirit, and common water, of each one gallon. Steep the cinnamon in the liquor for two days; then distil off one gallon.
