 medium-sized, well roasted
1/2 table-spoon sugar

 dissolve well with a little hot water
1 wine-glass applejack

Ingredient: applejack

What it is:  Brandy
Applejack originates from the American colonial period, and is probably derived from the French apple brandy Calvados. Applejack is made by concentrating hard cider, either by the traditional method of freeze distillation or by true evaporative distillation. The term "applejack" derives from "jacking", a term for freeze distillation.

Fill the balance with hot water, mix well with a spoon, grate a little nutmeg on top and serve with a bar spoon.

If the customer desires the drink strained, use a fine strainer, such as used for milk punches; attention must be given while roasting the apples that they are not overdone, but done in a nice and juicy manner; use only apples of the finest quality.
