      غسل الزيت
      يؤخذ من الزيت أصفاه مقدار ما يراد فيجعل في طنجير ويصب عليه قليل ماء قراح وتلقى فيه تمرتان ومقدار كف سويق مصرور في خرقة كتان ويغلى غليانا رفيقا بنار لينة حتى يذهب الماء ويبقى الزيت صافيا ثم يخرج عنه السويق والتمر ويبرد الزيت ويستعمل عند الحاجة
      How to wash olive oil.
      Take as much as you like from the purest olive oil, cast it in a cauldron, pour on it a bit of limpid water, throw into it two dates and a handful of flour (translates Kahl) tied up in a cloth of linen, and boil (all this) gently on a low flame until the water vanishes and the oil remains in a clear state; take out the flour and the dates, let the oil cool off, and use it as required.
