Then put it into a vessel. When it hath been in the barrel five or six
days, make a white tost, and dip it into new yeast, and put the tost into
the barrel, and let it work. When it hath done working, stop it up very
close. This keep three quarters of a year. You may drink it within half a
year, if you please. You may adde in the boiling, of what herbs you like
the taste, or what is Physical.
TO MAKE METHEGLIN
Take eight Gallons of water, and set it over a clear fire in a Kettle; and
when it is warm, put into it sixteen pounds of very good honey; stir it
well together, till it be all mixed; and when it boileth, take off the
scum, and put in two large Nutmegs cut into quarters, and so let it boil at
least an hour. Then take it off, and put into it two good handfuls of
grinded Malt, and with a white staff keep beating it together, till it be
almost cold; then strain it through a hair sieve into a tub, and put to it
a wine pint of Ale-yest, and stir it very well together; and when it is
cold, you may, if you please, Tun it up presently in a vessel fit for it,
or else let it stand, and work a day: And when it hath done working in your
vessel, stop it up very close.
