made
in
the
following
manner.

boiling
water,
pouring
the
water
on
the
leaves
in
a
covered
mug
or
jug,
or
even
an
old
earthenware
teapot.
Let
the
infusion
stand
till
it
is
cold,
then
strain
off
the
liquor,
and
place
it
in
a
saucepan
or
stewpan,
adding
to
it
one
pound
of
prunes.
Let
the
prunes
stew
gently
by
the
side
of
the
