Linseed Tea Recipe

Put a table-spoonful of linseed into a clean earthen pot or pipkin with

a quart of water, and a little orange or lemon rind; boil this gently

for about ten minutes, and then strain it through muslin into a jug;

sweeten with honey or sugar, add the juice of a lemon, stir all

together, and give this beverage to allay irritation of the chest and

lungs--in the latter case, the lemon juice had better be omitted.

Linseed tea in its purest form is an excellent accessory in aiding to

relieve such as are afflicted with gout, gravel, etc.
