Take good Brandy, one Gallon; then take two Pounds of Juniper-berries fresh
gather'd, and full ripe. Press these till you perceive a greenish Liquor
come from them; then put them into the Brandy, and let them remain about
ten Days: then pour them through a Cloth of coarse Linnen, and squeeze it,
and when you have the Liquor, if you find it too strong, you may add to it
some more Brandy, and half a Pound of fine Sugar to a Gallon. Then put it
in Flasks, or Bottles.
Then take the Pressings, and infuse them again in Brandy, for six or seven
Days, and distil them. This they call double _Cologn's_ Gin, and the best
is sold in _Holland_, at three Shillings and Six-pence _per_ Quart.
