Then put it into a vessel to cool. When it is almost as cold
as Ale-wort, then clear it out into another vessel: Then put Barm upon it,
as you do to your Ale, and so let it work. And then Tun it up into a
vessel, and put into it a bag with Ginger, Cloves, and Cinamon bruised a
little, and so hang the bag in the vessel, and stop it up very close; and
when it hath stood a month or six weeks, bottle it up and so drink it. You
may put in a little Limmon-peel into some of your Metheglin, for those that
like that taste; which most persons do very much.
A RECEIPT FOR MAKING OF MEATH
Mistress Hebden telleth me, that the way of making Honey-drink in Russia,
is thus; Take for example, 100 Gallons of Spring water, boil it a little;
then let it stand 24 hours to cool, and much sediment will fall to the
bottom; from which pour the clear, and warm it, and put 20 or 25 Gallons of
pure honey to it, and lade it a long time with a great woodden battle-dore,
till it be well dissolved. The next day boil it gently, till you have
skimed off all the scum that will rise, and that it beareth an Egge boyant.
