And as it worketh over, put in some
strong honey-drink warmed. When it works no more, stop it up close.
In twenty Gallons of water boil Sweet-bryar-leaves, Eye-bright, Rosemary,
Bayes, Clove-gilly-flowers of each five handfuls, and four Eringo-roots. To
every two gallons and a half of this decoction, put one gallon of honey;
boil it, &c. When it is tunned up, hang in it a bag containing five
handfuls of Clove-gilly-flowers, and sufficient quantity of the spices
above.
In both these Receipts, the quantity of the herbs is too great. The strong
herbs preserve the drink, and make it nobler. Use Marjoram and Thyme in
little quantity in all.
MY LADY COWERS WHITE MEATHE USED AT SALISBURY
Take to four Gallons of water, one Gallon of Virgin-honey; let the water be
warm before you put in the honey; and then put in the whites of 3 or 4 Eggs
well beaten, to make the scum rise. When the honey is throughly melted and
ready to boil, put in an Egge with the shell softly; and when the Egge
riseth above the water, to the bigness of a groat in sight, it is strong
enough of the honey.
