Lime-water
Ingredients
Directions
In an earthen pot, add 1 lb of unslaked lime and pour a little water on it.
As the lime slakes, gradually add more water while stirring with a stick.
After 3-4 hours, when the slaked lime has settled, pour off the clear liquid.
Store the clear liquid in stoppered bottles away from light.
For use, take a wineglassful two or three times a day.
