After a while this will drink exceeding quick and pleasant. Likewise take
six Wheat-corns, and bruise them, and put into a bottle of Ale; it will
make it exceeding quick and stronger.
TO MAKE CIDER
Take a Peck of Apples, and slice them, and boil them in a barrel of water,
till the third part be wasted; Then cool your water as you do for wort, and
when it is cold, you must pour the water upon three measures of grown
Apples. Then draw forth the water at a tap three or four times a day, for
three days together. Then press out the Liquor, and Tun it up; when it hath
done working, then stop it up close.
A VERY PLEASANT DRINK OF APPLES
Take about fifty Pippins; quarter and core them, without paring them: for
the paring is the Cordialest part of them. Therefore onely wipe or wash
them well, and pick away the black excrescence at the top; and be sure to
leave out all the seeds, which are hot. You may cut them (after all the
superfluities are taken away) into thinner slices, if you please. Put three
Gallons of Fountain water to them in a great Pipkin, and let them boil,
till the Apples become clear and transparent; which is a sign, they are
perfectly tender, and will be in a good half hour, or a little more.
