The Bar-tender's Guide/Quince Liqueur
Quince Liqueur.
(One-and-a-half gallons.)
- Take 2 quarts of quince juice.

- Take 1 pound of coriander-seeds.

Grate a sufficient number of quinces to make two quarts of juice, and squeeze them through a jelly-bag. Mix the ingredients all together, and put them into a demijohn, and shake well every day for ten days. Then strain the liquid through a jelly-bag till it is perfectly clear, and bottle for use. This is a delightful liqueur, and can be relied upon, as it is from a recipe in the possession of a lady who is famous for concocting delicious potations.
