Whilst it
is yet luke-warm, put Ale-yest to it, (no more then is necessary) to make
it work, and then tun it into a Rundlet of a fit Size, that hath been
seasoned with Sack; and hang in it a boulter bag containing half a pound of
white Ginger cleansed and sliced, three ounces of Cloves and as much of
Cinamon bruised, as much Coriander seed prepared, and as much
Elder-flowers. As it purgeth and consumeth by running over the bung, put in
fresh honey-liquor warmed, that you keep or make on purpose for that end.
When the working is even almost at an end, stop it up close with clay and
sand, and have great care to keep it always close stopped. After a year
draw in into pottle Glass-bottles stopped with ground stoppels of glass,
and keep them in a cool place, till they are ready to drink, if they as yet
be not so.
Have a care, that never any Liquor stay in Copper longer then whilst it is
to boil.
3. In 20 Gallons of the first boiled and settled water, boil six handfuls
of Sweet-bryar-leaves, as many of Cowslip flowers, as many of
Primrose-flowers, and as many of Rosemary-flowers; and half a handful of
Wild thyme, during the space of a quarter or half an hour.
