(or water), add a bunch of parsley and green onions, two
bay-leaves, two cloves, and some champignons; salt it well,
and set it on the fire for three hours, then strain. Dilute
s, little browning with your liquor, and boil it an hour over a
gentle fire ; take off all the fat, and run it through a tammy.
