Put 12 lbs. of powdered sugar, with the whites of 8 or 10 eggs well
beaten into 6 gallons of spring water; boil them ¾ of an hour; when
cold, put into it two spoonsful of yeast and the juice of 12 lemons,
which being pared must stand with 2 lbs. of white sugar in a tankard,
and in the morning skim off the top, and then put it into the water;
add the juice and rinds of fifty oranges, but not the white or pithy
part of the rinds; let it work all together two days and two nights;
then add two quarts of Rhenish or white wine, and put it into the
vessel.
