TO MAKE WHITE METHEGLIN
Put to three Gallons of Spring-water, one of honey. First let it gently
melt; then boil for an hour, continually skiming it; then put it into an
earthen or a woodden vessel, and when it is a little more than Blood-warm,
set it with Ale-yest, and so let it stand twelve hours. Then take off the
yest, and bottle it up. Put into it Limon-peel and Cloves, or what best
pleaseth your taste of Spice or Herbs. Eringo-roots put into it, when it
is boiling, maketh it much better.
Note, That if you make Hydromel by fermentation in the hot Sun (which will
last about fourty days, and requireth the greater heat) you must take it
thence, before it be quite ended working; and stop it up very close, and
set it in a cold Cellar, and not pierce it in two months, at the soonest.
It will be very good this way, if you make it so strong, as to bear an Egge
very boyant. It is best made by taking all the Canicular days into your
fermentation.
A VERY GOOD MEATH
Put three parts of water to one of honey. When the Honey is dissolved, it
is to bear an Egge boyant.
