Omg... doing food research for the game and I stumbled across a thing called Beef Tea - which apparently Florence Nightengale used years later but still... [1849] Beef tea.--Cut a pound of the lean and fresh juicy beef into small thin slices, and sprinkle them with a very little salt. Put the meat into a wide-mouthed glass or stone jar closely corked, and set it in a kettle or pan of water, which must be made to boil, and kept boiling hard round the jar for an hour more. Then take out the jar and strain the essence of the beef into a bowl. Chicken tea may be made in the same manner. ---Directions for Cookery in its Various Branches, Eliza Leslie [Carey & Hart:Philadelphia] 1849 (p. 414)
