Grape Lotion for Sunburn
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Dip the grapes in a basin of water.
Sprinkle the grapes with alum and coarse sea salt, mixing them together.
Wrap the grapes in paper and bake them under hot ashes (400°F / 200°C).
After baking, press the grapes to extract the juice.
Wash your face with the juice to remove sunburn, tan, and freckles.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
