Orange-Flower Tea
Two pinches of orange flowers infused in half a pint of boiling water for five minutes; strain through muslin, sweeten with honey, and take three or four small teacups full in the course of the day. Either the flowers or the leaves of the orange-tree used for making an infusion as above are antispasmodic, stomachic, tonic, a febrifuge, vermifuge, and sudorific.
