Take brazilwood pigment and boil it in ditch water to reduce it by one-half to one- third. And then take a chalkstone and make a hole in the chalk, as deep and as big as you think your water will fit into, and pour it therein. And then immediately, very quickly, take a board or a stone, and cover it so that no air may pass out, and let it stand until it is cold.
