To six gallons of spring water put six pounds of sun raisins cut
small, and a dozen pounds of fine sugar; boil the whole together for
about an hour and a half. When the liquor is cold, put half a peck of
ripe elder flowers in, with about a gill of lemon-juice, and half the
quantity of ale yeast. Cover it up, and, after standing three days,
strain it off. Now pour it into a cask that is quite clean, and that
will hold it with ease. When this is done, put a quart of Rhenish
wine to every gallon; let the bung be slightly put in for twelve or
fourteen days; then stop it down fast, and put it in a cool place for
four or five months, till it be quite settled and fine; then bottle
it off.
