SC - angelica as tincture or cordial

[Stefan li Rous]

I received this inquiry yesterday. I pointed her to the Angelica-msg
file in the Florilegium (as well as the fd-Iceland-msg file) and she 
gave me permission to forward her message to this list. I thought one 
of you might be able to help or if not, that one of you on one of the 
brewing lists could ask there.

Please remember she is not on this list, so any reply to this list should
also be sent to her at: cjohnson2 at vtown.com.au

Thanks,
  Stefan
