Granny Oltica’s Dacian Cordial, part 2

Text

I call it the ’Dacian Cordial’ and it’s quite easy to make, although you may need to search a bit for some of the ingredients. You will need: two spoonfuls of perilla oil; a small mug of boiled water; three comfrey leaves; one very small aconite leaf; a pinch of salt and a pressed clove of garlic; finally, to make sure the Cordial is really potent, add a few drops of pálinka – well, any strong spirit will do, but it’s the brewer’s choice, and I simply love the taste of our Carpathian pálinka. Mix everything together and leave it for three nights.
