351. JAMAICA PEPPER WATER.

Jamaica pepper is the fruit of a tall tree growing in the mountainous

parts of Jamaica, where it is much cultivated, because of the great

profit arising from the cured fruit, sent in large quantities

annually into Europe.

Take of Jamaica pepper, half a pound; water, two gallons and a half;

draw off 1 gallon with a pretty brisk fire. The oil of this fruit is

very ponderous, and therefore, this water is made in an alembic.
