Put twelve pounds of loaf sugar and six ounces of powdered
ginger into six gallons of water; let it boil for an hour, then
beat up the whites of half a dozen eggs with a whisk, and
mix them well with the liquor. WTien quite cold put it into a
barrel, with six lemons cut into slices, and a cupful of yeast;
let it work for three days, then put it in the bung. In a
week's time you may bottle it, and it will be ready for
immediate use.
