_Oyle of Almonds_.
Take _Almonds_, blanch them, and put them into a pot, and set
that pot in another pot of water that boyleth, and the steam of
the seething pot will arise and enter into the pot with the _Almonds_,
and that will become Oyle when they are stamped and wringed
through a cloath. Thus they make Oyle of the kernels of _Filberts,
Walnuts,_ &c.
_A Barley Cream to procure sleep, or Almond Milke._
Take a good handfull of French _Barley_, wash it cleane in warme
water, and boyle it in a quart of sayre water to the halfe, then put
our the water from the _Barley_, and put the _Barley_ into a pottell of
new clean water, with a _Parsley,_ and a _Fennell_ root, clean washed,
and picked with _Bourage, Buglos, Violet_ leaves, and _Lettice_, of each
one handfull, boyle them with the _Barley_, till more then halfe be
consumed; then strayne out the liquor, and take of blanched
_Almonds_ a handfull, of the seeds of _Melons, Cucumbers, Citralls_, and
_Gourds_, husked, of each halfe a quarter of an ounce, beat these
seeds, and the _Almonds_ together, in a stone morter, with so much
_Sugar_, and Rose-water as is fit, and strayne them through a cleane
cloath into the liquor, and drink thereof at night going to bed,
and in the night, if this doth not sufficiently provoke sleep, then
make some more of the same liquor, and boyle in the same the
beads, or a little of white _Poppey_.
