Recipe For Beef Tea ingredients

To prepare this Recipe For Beef Tea, first one pound of beefsteak from the round, two cups of cold water, salt to season.

Remove fat from the meat, wipe the steak with a damp cloth, then cut into small pieces. Have ready a fruit jar, scalded and cooled; put in the meat and two cups of cold water, cover the jar and let it stand twenty minutes in a cool place. Fold a newspaper to make a thick, smooth mat; put this into a saucepan, set the jar upon it and pour in cold water to surround the jar to the height of the liquid inside. Let the water heat gradually to 130 deg F. Keep it at this point for two hours, then increase the temperature to about 134 deg F., or until the color of the juice is darkened a little and the albuminous juices are slightly coagulated. Pour off the liquid, season and serve. A sprig or two of parsley, or a stalk of celery cut in pieces, may be put into the jar with the meat.
