Though this never work, 'tis not of the Nature of Strummed Wine;
because the naughty dregs are not left in it.
DOCTOR HARVEY'S PLEASANT WATER-CIDER, WHEREOF HE USED TO DRINK MUCH, MAKING
IT HIS ORDINARY DRINK
Take one Bushel of Pippins, cut them into slices with the Parings and
Cores; boil them in twelve Gallons of water, till the goodness of them be
in the water; and that consumed about three Gallons. Then put it into an
Hypocras-bag, made of Cotton; and when it is clear run out, and almost
cold, sweeten it with five pound of Brown-sugar, and put a pint of Ale-yest
to it, and set it a working two nights and days: Then skim off the yest
clean, and put it into bottles, and let it stand two or three days, till
the yest fall dead at the top: Then take it off clean with a knife, and
fill it up a little within the neck (that is to say, that a little about a
fingers breadth of the neck be empty, between the superficies of the
Liquor, and the bottom of the stopple) and then stop them up and tye them,
or else it will drive out the Corks. Within a fortnight you may drink of
it.
