TAKE six gallons of spring-water, twelve pounds of white sugar, fix pounds of raisins of the sun chopped. Boil these together one hour, then take off the flowers of elder, when they are falling, and rub them off to the quantity of half a peck. When the liquor is cold, put them in, the next day put in the juice of three lemons, and four spoonfuls of good ale yeast. Let it stand covered up two days, then strain it off, and put it in a vessel fit for it. To every gallon of wine put a quart of Rhenish, and put you bung lightly on a fortnight; then stop it down close. Let it stand six months; and if you find it is fine, bottle it off.
