A simple syrup can be made by dissolving three pounds of brown sugar in a pint of boiling water. Boil until thick. You may then add this to any substance. Malt honey and bees' honey can also be used as a syrup if desired. To make a herb syrup, simplu add the cut herbs, boil to a sirupy consistency, strain through a double cheesecloth and bottle. If corked, this will keep indefinitely. NEVER USE A ALUMINIUM USTENSIL TO BOIL HERS OR WATER TO BE USED WITH THEM (it damages the fine herbs.)
