ter this, put some of it into a
vessel, and take the whites of two eggs, and a little barm, and a small
quantity of fine flower; beat them well together, and put it into the
vessel close covered, that it may work. Then pour the rest into it by
degrees, as you do Beer. At last take a quantity of Cinamon, 2 or 3 races
of Ginger, and two Nutmegs (for more will alter the colour of it.) Hang
these in a little bag in the vessel. Thus made, it will be as white as any
White-wine.

ANOTHER WAY OF MAKING WHITE METHEGLIN

To three Gallons of Spring-water take three quarts of honey, and set it
over the fire, till the scum rises pretty thick. Then take off the scum,
and put in Thyme, Rosemary, Hyssop and Maiden-hair, of each one handful;
and two handfuls of Eglantine leaves, and half a handful of Organ. The
spices, Ginger, Nutmegs, Cinamon and a little mace, and boil all these
together near half an hour. Then take it from the fire, and let it stand
till it be cold, and then strain it, and so Tun it up, and stop it close.
The longer you keep it, the better it will be.

ANOTHER WAY

Take two Gallons of water; one Gallon of Honey: Parietary one handful;

Hearts-tongue. Boil this together one hour. Then put in the Honey, and
Nutmegs, Cloves, Mace, Cinamon of each one ounce; of Ginger three ounces.
Boil all these together, till the scum be boiled in, not scumming it. Then
take it off, and set it to cool. When it is cold, put in it six spoonfuls
of barm, and when it is ripe, it will hiss in the pail. You must take out
the herbs, when you put in the honey. If you put in these herbs following,
it will be far better; Sanicle, Bugloss, Avens, and Ladies-mantle, of each
one handful.
