| Cardamom Seed, in moderately coarse powder | 20 g |
| Cinnamon, in fine powder | 25 g |
| Caraway, in moderately coarse powder | 12 g |

Macerate the mixed powders in 750 mL of a mixture of 50 mL of Glycerin and 950 mL of Diluted Alcohol in a container that can be closed, and put it in a warm place.
