=Essence of Cap'sicum.= See ESSENCE OF CAYENNE.
=Essence of Car'away.= _Syn._ ESSENTIA CARUI, L. _Prep._ From oil of
caraway, as ESSENCE OF ALMONDS. Its applications and uses are similar. An
inferior kind is prepared by macerating the seeds in proof spirit.
=Essence of Car'damoms.= _Syn._ ESSENTIA CARDAMOMI, E. C. CONCENTRATA, L.
_Prep._ From lesser cardamom seeds (ground in a pepper mill), 5-1/2 lbs.;
rectified spirit of wine, 1 gall.; digest for a fortnight, press, and
filter.
_Obs._ This preparation is very convenient for flavouring cordials,
pastry, &c., and is very powerful. In the laboratory it is frequently
substituted for powdered cardamoms in making compound extract of
colocynth, and has the advantage of adding no inert matter to the
preparation, whilst it imparts the characteristic odour of the seeds in a
remarkable degree. When used in this way it is not added to the extract
until it is nearly cold and about to be taken from the pan. The testæ or
shells of the seed should be separated from the kernels, as the former are
quite inert, and if used occasion a loss of spirit for no purpose.
=Essence of Cascaril'la.= _Syn._ ESSENTIA CASCARILLÆ, L. _Prep._ 1.
Cascarilla (bruised), 12 oz.; proof spirit, 1 pint; proceed either by
digestion or percolation. The product is 8 times the strength of the
infusion of cascarilla. (Ph. L.)
