_ Cloves, Mace, of each half an Ounce, and as much Cinnamon, of Nutmeg
an Ounce, with two Ounces of Ginger, and a Gallon of Honey: boil all these
together half an hour longer, but do not skim it at all: let it boil in,
and set it a cooling after you have taken it off the fire. When it is cold,
put six spoonfuls of barm to it, and let it work twelve hours at least;
then Tun it, and put a little Limon-peel into it: and then you may bottle
it, if you please.
ANOTHER OF THE SAME LADY
To four Gallons of water put one Gallon of honey; warm the water Luke-warm
before you put in your honey; when it is dissolved, set it over the fire,
and let it boil half an hour with these Spices grosly beaten and put in a
Canvass-bag: namely, half an Ounce of Ginger, two Nutmegs, a few Cloves
and a little Mace; and in the boiling put in a quart of cold water to raise
the scum, which you must take clean off in the boiling. If you love herbs,
put in a little bundle of Rosemary, Bays, Sweet-marjoram and Eglantine. Let
it stand till it is cold, then put into it half a pint of Ale-barm, and let
it work twelve hours; then Tun it, but take out the bundle of herbs first.
