The Colledg] Take of Violet Flowers fresh and picked, a pound, cleer water made boyling hot two pound, shut them up close together in a new glazed pot, a whol day, then press them hard out, and in two pound of the Liquor dissolve four pound and three ounces of
white Sugar, take away the scum, and so make it into a syrup without boyling.
Syrup of the Juyce of Violets is made with its dou∣ble waight of Sugar like the former.
Culpeper] A. This latter syrup is far more charga∣ble than the former, and in all reason is better, al∣though I never knew it used; they both of them cool and moisten, and that very gently, they correct the sharpness of choller, and give ease in hot vices of the breast, they quench thirst in acute fea∣vers, and resist the heat of the disease, they comfort hot stomachs exceedingly, cool the liver and heart, and resist putrifaction, pestilence and poyson. It is so harmless a syrup you shall hurt your purse by it soo∣ner than your body.
The Colledg] Julep of Violets is made of the wa∣ter of Violet flowers and sugar like Julep of Roses.
Culpeper] A. It is cooling and pleasant for the Gentry when they are hot with walking, for few of them much trouble their study.
