Boil twenty-six quarts of spring water a quarter of an hour, and when
it is blood warm, put twenty-five pounds of Malaga raisins, picked,
rubbed, and shred, into it, with almost half a bushel of red sage
shred, and a porringer of ale yeast, stir it all well together, and
let it stand in a tub, covered warm, six or seven days, stirring it
once a day: then strain it off, and put it in a runlet. Let it work
three or four days, and then stop it up; when it has stood six or
seven days, put in a quart or two of Malaga sack; and when it is
fine, bottle it.
