A receipt to make the genuine Hungary Water.
Put into an Alembic a pound and a half of fresh picked rosemary flowers; pennyroyal and marjoram flowers of each half a pound; three quarts of a good cognac brandy; having close-stopped the mouth of the Alembic to prevent the spirit from evaporating, bury it twenty-eight hours in horse dung to digest, and then distill off the spirit in a water bath.
