A most excellent Vinegar may also be had from honey:--Put half a pound
of honey to a quart of water, boiling hot; mix well, and expose to the
greatest heat of the sun without closing the vessel containing it, but
sufficiently so to keep out insects. In about six weeks this liquor
becomes acid and changes to strong vinegar, and of _excellent_ quality.
The broken combs, after being drained, may be put in as much water as
will float them, and well washed. The linens also and sieves which have
been used for draining honey, may be rinsed in the same water, and with
this make the vinegar; first boil and scum it before mixing it with the
honey.
