Syrup  of  Coffee. — [Some  of  the  apothecaries  of  New  York  and  elsewhere 
have  introduced  among  their  mineral  water  syrups,  a  syrup  of  coffee.  The 
following  formula,  taken  from  Dorvault's  "  Officine,"  is  offered  to  those  who 
incline  to  try  this  new  mode  of  taking  a  glass  of  cold  coffee.  With  the  ad- 
dition of  cream  it  would  doubtless  be  much  improved  as  a  beverage, — to 
most  persons.— Editor  Am.  Journ.  Pharm.]

Simple  syrup,  ...        lb.  viii. 
Boiling  water,  q.  s. 
Treat  the  coffee,  by  displacement  in  a  proper  apparatus,  with  the  boiling 
water  until  two  pounda  of  liquor  have  passed,  put  the  syrup  on  the  fire  and 
evaporate  until  it  loses  lb.  ij,  then  add  the  infusion  of  coffee  and  strain. 
[Two  table  spoonfuls  of  this  syrup  to  a  cup  of  boiling  water  or  milk  will 
make  a  cup  of  coffee.  For  mineral  water  it  may  be  less  concentrated,  and 
may  be  diluted  with  simple  syrup.]
