Gallon of Honey: Then put in an Egg, if it be
strong enough of the honey, the Egg will part of it appear on the top of
the liquor: if it do not, put more honey to it, till it do. Then take out
the Egg, and let the Liquor stand till next morning. Then take two Ounces
of Ginger, and slice it and pare it: Some Rose-mary washed and stripped
from the stalk: dry it very well. The next day put the Rose-mary and Ginger
into the drink, and so set it on the fire: when it is all most ready to
boil, take the whites of three Eggs well beaten with the shells, and put
all into the Liquor: and stir it about, and skim it well till it be clear.
Be sure you skim not off the Rose-mary and Ginger: then take it off the
fire, and let it run through a hair sieve: and when you have strained it,
pick out the Rose-mary and Ginger out of the strainer, and put it into the
drink, and throw away the Eggshells, and so let it stand all night. The
next day Tun it up in a barrel: Be sure the barrel be not too big: then
take a little flower and a little bran, and the white of an Egg, and beat
them well together, and put them into the barrel on the top of the
Metheglin, after it is tunned up, and so let it stand till it hath done
working; then stop it up as close as is possible: and so let it stand six
or seven weeks: then draw it out and bottle it. You must tye down the
Corks, and set the bottles in sand five or six weeks, and then drink it.

ANOTHER MEATH

Take twenty Gallons of fair Spring-water. Boil it a quarter of an hour,
then let it stand till the next day. Then beat into it so much honey, as
will make it so strong as to bear an Egg the breadth of a two pence above
the water. The next day boil it up with six small handfulls of Rosemary, a
pound and a half of Ginger, (being scraped and bruised) and the whites of
twenty Eggs together with their shells beaten together, and well mingled
with the Liquor. Clarifie it and skim it very clean, still as the scum
riseth, leaving the Ginger and Rosemary in it. Let it stand till the next
day, then Tun it up, and take some New-ale-yest, the whites of two Eggs, a
spoonful of flower, beat all these together, and put it on the top of the
barrel, when the barrel is full. Let it work, and when it hath done
working, stop it up close for three weeks, or a month. Then you may bottle
it, and a few days after, you may drink it.
