Take your roots new gather’d without joints or knots boyle them tender
in fair water but let your water first boyle before you put them in
then peel them and slit them and wash them in 2 or 3 waters dry them
with a cloth then take twice as much sugar and when your sugar is
refin’d boyle them in one half till they be tender and clear and make
a sirrop of the other half to the hight of manus Christi that is till
it will draw off as fine as a hair then put in your roots again and
boyle them and when you find them enough take them up and shake them in
a bason till they be pretty dry after lay them on papers till they be
quite dry.
