THE NIOTZOMICAL MIS TO RIM* THE LEAVES AIOID
PEUKINOS or VINES lIIAT IS AMMO. IN THIS COVE-
, Tux. TEOM THE PHT7.66OEIM'AI. MACiANNE, N 0.119-
Frogs experiments which I have made, I find that,
()a being dried, which should be done in the shade,
and infuied in a tea-pot, the leaves of the vine make
an aceUent substitute for tea. I have also found,
that on being cut small, bruised, and put into a vat,
or mashing-tub, and boiling water poured on them in
the same way as is done With malt, the prunings of
the vine produce a liquor of a fine vinous quality,
which, on being fermented, makes a very tine beve-
rap, either,strong or weak, as yon please ; and, on
being distilled, produces an excellent spirit of the na-
ture of brandy.
In the course of my experiments, I found, that the
fomented liquor from the prunings, particularly the
tendrils, when allowed to pass the vinous and to run
into the ucetous fermentation, makes uncommonly
fine vinegar. If not intended to be distilled soon
after they arc lopped off, or if it should not be cone.
nient to do so at the time, they should be dried in the
shade. When intended to be used, an extract should
be made with hot water, as in the common process
for distilling front.grain.
As this is the reason when the vine puts forth its
leaves, and many thousand cart-loads of the prunings,
where there are not goats to eat them, are yearly
thrown away as useless ; your stating the above
your highly interesting and useful Magazine, may be
of use to many of your readers, and to the public in
general. I am, Sir, your constant reader,
