The New Year began with the *'busk," which was celebrated in July or August, *'at the beginning of the first new moon in which their corn became full eared," sa^s Adair. The leaves were duied in the sun or shade and afterwards roasted. The process seems to have been similar to that adopted for tea and xjoffee. The roasting was done in ovens, remains of which are found in the Cherokee region; or in large shallow pots orpans of earthenware, such as the Indian tribes made. These roasted leaves wer...e kept in baskets in a dry place until needed for use Loudonniere (1564) writes of being presented with baskets filled with leaves of the cassine. A description of the method of making the Digitized by Google 12 decoction, or "black drink," will be found in Dickenson's and Bar- tram's narrations, and in otber quotations below. A special feature was " the practice of pouring the liquid from one bowl to another until a deep froth appeared. Whether this was supposed to increase the potency of the beverage, or was a fashion, like the Spanish method of whipping chocolate to a foam, is a question ; probably the latter is the true ex- planation.
