To the four or five gallons of the spirits, and the lavender flowers left in the still, after the distillation mentioned in the last article, add 15 gallons of common proof spirit, 9 or 10 gallons of spring water, 3 pounds of lavender flowers, and 4 ounces of oil of lavender, intimately mixed with loaf-sugar, by powdering it in a glass mortar. Digest the whole, and draw off 25 gallons, proceeding in every respect as before, except that in this case, no oil is to be added; for, as there is so much water present, the addition of oil would be apt to turn the whole quantity muddy, or of a bluish or opaque colour, which it cannot be easily freed from, without a second distillation. 368. _Lavender Water, for immediate use._ Mix with one gallon of proof spirit, 1¼ ounce of true English oil of lavender, which is all that will properly combine with the spirit, without injuring the colour, by rendering it muddy. When the spirit and the oil are properly mixed, they are to be put into glass bottles, which are to be well stopped, and ought to be shaken before used. 369. _Perfumed Lavender Water._ Distil by a gentle heat in a sand or water-bath; or, mix and shake frequently during fourteen days, the following ingredients: 1 ounce of foreign oil of lavender, ½ ditto of English ditto, ½ ditto of essence of ambergris, and 1 gallon of rectified spirit of wine. 370. LEMON WATER. The peel of the lemon, the part used in making this water, is a very grateful bitter aromatic, and, on that account, very serviceable in repairing and strengthening the stomach. Take of dried lemon-peel, 4 lbs. proof spirit, 10½ gallons, and 1 gallon of water. Draw off ten gallons by a gentle fire. 371. SPIRIT OF PEPPERMINT. Take of the herb of peppermint, dried, 1½ lbs. proof spirit, 1 gallon, water, sufficient to prevent burning. Distil off a gallon. 372. COMPOUND GENTIAN WATER. Take of gentian-root, sliced, 3 lbs.; leaves and flowers of the lesser centaury, each 8 ounces; infuse the whole in 6 quarts of proof spirit, and 1 quart of water; and draw off the water till the feints begin to rise. 373. SPIRIT OF SCURVY-GRASS. Take of scurvy-grass, fresh gathered and bruised, 15 pounds; horse-radish root, 6 pounds; rectified spirit of wine, 1 gallon; and water three pints. Digest the whole in a close vessel two days, and draw off a gallon with a gentle fire. 374. ANTISCORBUTIC WATER. Take of the leaves of water-cresses, garden and sea scurvy-grass, and brook-lime, each 20 handsful; of pine-tops, germander, horehound, and the lesser centaury, each 16 handsful; of the roots of bryony and sharp pointed dock, each 6 pounds; of mustard-seed, 1½ pounds. Digest the whole in 10 gallons of proof spirit, and 2 gallons of water, and draw off by a gentle fire. ACID LIQUORS.
