and it will become very clear. Then pour it into a fit very clean Barrel,
and put to it some Mother of Wine, that is in it's best fermentation or
working, and this will make the Liquor work also. This will be ready to
drink in three or four Months, or sooner.


AN EXCELLENT WHITE MEATHE

of Cinnamon, a little Ginger, a little Mace, and a very little Cloves. Boil
it with the Spice in it, till it bear an Egge. Then take it from the fire,
and let it Cool in a Woodden vessel, till it be but lukewarm; which this
quantity will be in four or five or six hours. Then put into it a hot tost
of White-bread, spread over on both sides, pretty thick with fresh barm;
that will make it presently work. Let it work twelve hours, close covered
with Cloves. Then Tun it into a Runlet wherein Sack hath been, that is
somewhat too big for that quantity of Liquor; for example, that it fill it
not by a Gallon; You may then put a little Limon-pill in with it. After it
hath remained in the vessel a week or ten days, draw it into Bottles. You
may begin to drink it after two or three Months: But it will be better
after a year. It will be very spritely and quick and pleasant and pure
white.
