Let all these boil
together in the Liquor, the space of a quarter of an hour. Then strain the
Liquor from them, and let it cool, till it be Blood-warm. Put in so much
honey, until an Egge swim on it; and when your honey is melted, then put it
into the Barrel. When it is almost cold, put a little Ale barm to it; And
when it hath done working, put into your barrel a bag of Spice of Nutmegs,
Ginger, Cloves and Mace, and grains good store; and if you will, put into a
Lawn-bag two grains of Ambergreece and two grains of Musk, and fasten it in
the mouth of your barrel, and so let it hang in the Liquor.
A MOST EXCELLENT METHEGLIN
Take one part of honey, to eight parts of Rain or River-water; let it boil
gently together, in a fit vessel, till a third part be wasted, skiming it
very well. The sign of being boiled enough is, when a New-laid-egg swims
upon it. Cleanse it afterwards by letting it run through a clean
Linnen-cloth, and put it into a woodden Runlet, where there hath been wine
in, and hang in it a bag with Mustard-seeds by the bung, that so you may
take it out, when you please.
