and allow it to cool; we then mix it with one gallon of cold water that has
been boiled; when this is intimately mixed, we purify the whole by filtration
or otherwise, after which we add one gallon of arrack, half a bottle of cham-
pagne, and half a bottle of Rhine wine, quarter of a pound of raisins, half an
ounce of aniseseed, and the juice of one lemon. When the whole is inti-
mately mixed, we plunge red-hot irons into the mixture, and stir it with such
