  1. Mix together the Rhenish wine, arrack, strained lemon juice, oleo-saccharum, and woodruff leaves or sprigs of mint.
  2. When sufficiently herbed, strain and sweeten to taste and ice up.
  3. Before serving add the potash water.

Ice: Iced up

This is one of the clearest arrack-linked Rhine cup variants in the book.

The brief herb extraction followed by straining keeps the drink bright rather than vegetal.
