The Victorian Cupboard

The Old Fashioned
Simmering Pot
In the old time kitchen, a small kettle, residing on the back of the old wood cook stove, is filled with an enticing and sweetly familiar blend of cinnamon, allspice and clove, mingled with a touch of nutmeg and a dash of zesty citrus peel. Occasionally a bit of ginger is added to impart a spicy and delicious essence, and fresh water is supplied throughout the day to keep the pot simmering and bubbling along.
