Some

prefer

it

without

the

spices,

others

without

lemons.

To

each

gallon

of

water

add

four

pounds

of

the

whitest,

purest,

and

best

tasted

honey,

and

the

peeling

of

two

lemons

;

boil

it

half

an

hour.

Scum

it

when

cold.

Put

it

into

a

cask,

add

some

yeast

to

it

;

when

it

has

done

fermenting,

stop

the

cask

up

close,

and

at

the

expiration

of

eight

months

bottle

it

off.

If

this

liquor

is

properly

kept,

the

taste

of

the

honey

will

go

off,

and

it

will

resemble

Tokay

both

in

strength

and

flavour.
