RECIPE

 

 
3. Beef Tea.

  Take two pounds of fresh lean beef, let it be free from
all sinews, fat, and skin ; put the beef, cut in pieces, into
a stew-pan, cover the meat with cold water; have another
stew-pan, in which you place the one containing the beef;
pour water round to come nearly to the top of the inner stew-
pan ; set over the fire, and let the water boil briskly for
two hours; then take out the inner stew-pan, and let it stand
for ten minutes, that the tea may settle ; place a napkin over
n basin, and carefully pass the tea through it.
