Beef Tea. No. 2. (Miss Woollett.)
2 lbs. of the best gravy beef. Cut off every bit of fat and sinew, then cut it into small pieces, and put it into a stone jar with a little salt, peppercorns, and 1 onion. Tie the jar down with a bladder, and put it into a saucepan of cold water, full nearly up to the brim, and boil it slowly 4 hours. This is the best, the most strengthening.
