Ingredients
- 3 cups crushed sugar
- 4 drops of oil of pep- permint
- 4 drops of green vegetable coloring
- 4 drops
Directions
\y2 Quarts of water to 3 cups crushed sugar ; boil to thick sy- rup. When boiled this should make £4 of a quart; strain through cloth; leave it to cool; when cool add 3 or 4 drops of Oil of Pep- permint, then 4 oz. of best alcohol: shake well, color with 4 drops of green vegetable coloring.
Same recipe can be used instead of peppermint, use almond oil and color with red vegetable coloring or flavor with oil of anise (4 drops) and no coloring will make a delicious anisette; if it is cloudy, dip bottle in warm water for few minutes.
