Boil this half an hour longer, then take it off the fire, and put it into a
clean Tub; and when it is cool, work it up with yest, as you do Beer. When
it is wrought, put it into your vessel, and stop it very close. Within
three days you may Bottle it, and in ten days after it will be fit to
drink.
ANOTHER PLEASANT MEATHE OF SIR WILLIAM PASTON'S
To a Gallon of water put a quart of honey, about ten sprigs of
Sweet-Majoram; half so many tops of Bays. Boil these very well together,
and when it is cold, bottle it up. It will be ten days before it be ready
to drink.
ANOTHER WAY OF MAKING MEATH
Boil Sweet Bryar, Sweet Marjoram, Cloves and Mace in Spring-water, till the
water taste of them. To four Gallons of water put one Gallon of honey, and
boil it a little to skim and clarifie it. When you are ready to take it
from the fire, put in a little Limon-peel, and pour it into a Woodden
vessel, and let it stand till it is almost cold. Then put in some Ale-yest,
and stir it altogether. So let it stand till next day. Then put a few
stoned Raisins of the Sun into every bottle, and pour the Meath upon them.
