Is made in this manner: to 15 gallons of water put 30 pounds of
honey, and boil it till one gallon be wasted. Skim it, take it off
the fire, and have ready 16 lemons cut in halves. Take a gallon of
the liquor, and put it to the lemons. Put the rest of the liquor into
a tub with seven pecks of cowslips, and let them stand all night.
Then put in the liquor with the lemons, 8 spoonsful of new yeast, and
a handful of sweetbriar. Stir them all well together, and let it work
three or four days; then strain it, put it into the cask, and after
it has stood six months, bottle it off.
