Then afterwards stop it well, and close it well
with clay and Salt tempered together, and let it be set in a close place;
and when it hath been settled some six weeks, draw it into bottles, and
stop it very close, and drink it not a month after: but it will keep well
half a year, and more.
ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE WHITE METHEGLIN
Take ten Gallons of water; then take six handfuls of Sweet-bryar; as much
of Sweet-marjoram; and as much of Muscovy. Three handfuls of the best
Broad-thyme. Boil these together half an hour; then strain them. Then take
two Gallons of English-honey, and dissolve it in this hot Liquor, and brew
it well together; then set it over the fire to boil again, and skim it very
clean; then take the whites of thirty Eggs wel beaten, and put them into
the Liquor, and let it boil an hour; then strain it through a jelly bag,
and let it stand 24 hours cooling: then put it up in a vessel. Then take
six Nutmegs, six fair Races of Ginger, a quarter of an Ounce of Cloves,
half an Ounce of Cinamon; bruise all these together, and put them into a
Linnen-bag, with a little Pebble-stone to make it sink.
