Original Text
Raspail Liqueur.—Take a nutmeg, and of cloves, myrrh, and succotrin aloes each 2 grammes, 25 centigrammes of saffron, 4oz. calamus aromaticus, and 8 grammes of vanilla; steep this in the sun for fifteen days, shaking the bottle daily, in a quart of brandy, then dissolve in it 1lb. of loaf sugar; when this is thoroughly melted, filter it off and keep it closely stoppered, in a dark cupboard. I have given the French quantities as this is a much praised French liqueur.
