SC - OOP-Chicken and Avocado Mousse/dinner tonight

[margali]

Two kinds of sources for infusions, decoctions etc. might be worth
checking:

(1) the herbals: generally speaking, their "virtue"-section is a place,
where the use of a plant for decoctions is mentioned (e.g. "The
decoction of the field Daisie (which is the best for physicks use) made
in water and drunke, is good against agues"; from an abbreviated ed. of
Gerarde's Herball).

(2) the vaste literature on distillation of non-alcoholic "burnt"
waters, which seem to be more or less concentrated herb decoctions.
