As published

This recipe was extracted from Virginia Cookery-book (1884) by Mary Stuart Smith, page 144. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Mint Julep. This is so valuable a remedy, especially in cases of cholera infantum^ that every garden should have growing a little patch of branch mint. Put a dessert-spoonful of fine white sugar in the bottom of a tumbler; beat up fine enough ice to fill it; add to it four or five sprigs of mint and a table-spoonful of brandy

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
