boiling

two

hours

;

then

strain

it

through

a

hair

sieve,

and

set

it

a

coohng,

and

when

it

is

cold

as

wort

should

be,

put

a

small

quantity

of

yeast

to

it

on a

toast,

or

in

a

dish.

Let

it

stand

all

night

working;

then

bruise

one-half

peck

of

cowslips,

put

them

into

your

vessel,

and

your

liquor

upon

them,

adding

three

ounces

of

syrup

of

lemons.

Cut

The

best

method

of

making

these

wines

is

to

put

in

the

pips

dry,

when

the

fermenta-

tion

of

the

wine

has

subsided.

This

method

is

preferred

for

two

reasons:

first,

it

may

be

performed

at

any

time

of

the

year

when

lemons

are

cheapest,

and

when

other

wine

is

making;

second,

all

waste

of

the

pips

is

avoided.

Being

light,

they

are

sure

to

work

over

if

put

in

the

cask

while

the

wine

is

in

a

state

of

fermentation.

Boil

fourteen

pounds

of

good

moist

sugar

with

five

gal-

lons

of

water,

and

one

ounce

of

hops.

Shave

thin

the

rinds

of

eight

lemons

or

Seville

oranges,

or

part

of

each;

they

must

be

put

in

the

of
