Peppermint Water

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the peppermint into short lengths.

  2. Place it in a still and cover with water.

  3. Heat the still until it is near boiling.

  4. Adjust the fire to prevent boiling over; the slower it drops, the clearer the water will be.

  5. Bottle the water the next morning and cork it well after it has stood for 2-3 days.

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.
