TO MAKE GINGER BEER.

Take an ounce of powdered ginger, half an ounce of cream of tartar,

a large lemon sliced, two pounds of lump sugar, and one gallon of

water; mix all together, and let it simmer over the fire for half

an hour, then put a table-spoonful of yeast to it, let it ferment a

little time, and then put it into stone pint bottles, and cork it

down closely for use.
