TO MAKE CAPILLAIRE.
CREAM OF THE FLOWER OF ORANGE.
Take of rectified spirit of wine or brandy, six
pints; of picked orange flowers, two pounds; of
Champagne wine, six pints; of pure water, six
pints; of sugar, ten pounds. Melt the sugar in
the water over the fire until it is nearly boiling,
then throw in the orange flowers, and, when boil¬
ed, pour it into a large-mouthed vessel. When
cold, put in the spirits and the wine. After a
day’s infusion, filter the liquor. The cream of
the flower of orange made this way is a little
sharp, but kept for a short time before using it*,
this sharpness wears off.
TO MAKE CAPILLAIRE,
Take ten pounds of loaf, and sixteen pounds of
good raw sugar, with six eggs; let them be well
beat together, and then boil them in three gallons
of water, skimming the syrup as long as any scum
appears; then strain it through a bag, and add
two penny-weight of essence of lemon.
