Take of cold soft water, 19 gallons, Malaga raisins, 50 lbs. white tartar, in powder, 4 oz. Ferment. Mix ginger, in powder, or bruised, 20 oz. 18 lemons, peel and juice. Add brandy, 2 quarts, or more. This will make 18 gallons. 224. _Another._ Take 20 quarts of water, 5 lbs. of sugar, 3 oz. of white ginger, 1 oz. of stick liquorice. Boil them well together; when it is cold put a little new yeast upon it, but not too much; then put it into the barrel for ten days, and after that bottle it, putting a lump of white sugar into every bottle. 225. _Another._ To seven gallons of water put nineteen pounds of clayed sugar, and boil it for half an hour, taking off the scum as it rises; then take a small quantity of the liquor, and add to it nine ounces of the best ginger bruised. Now put it all together, and when nearly cold, chop nine pounds of raisins, very small, and put them into a nine gallon cask (beer measure,) with one ounce of isinglass. Slice four lemons into the cask, taking out all the seeds, and pour the liquor over them, with half a pint of fresh yeast. Leave it unstopped for three weeks, and in three months it will be fit for bottling. There will be one gallon of the sugar and water more than the cask will hold at first: this must be kept to fill up, as the liquor works off, as it is necessary that the cask should be kept full, till it has done working. The raisins should be two-thirds Malaga, and one third Muscadel. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for making this wine. 226. RHUBARB WINE. Take of sliced rhubarb, 2½ oz. lesser cardamom seeds, bruised and husked, ½ oz. saffron, 2 drachms, Spanish white wine, 2 pints, proof spirit, ½ pint. Digest for ten days, and strain. This is a warm, cordial, laxative medicine. If is used chiefly in weakness of the stomach and bowels, and some kind of loosenesses, for evacuating the offending matter, and strengthening the tone of the viscera. It may be given in doses of from half a spoonful to three or four spoonsful or more, according to the circumstances of the disorder, and the strength of the patient. 227. SAGE WINE. Boil twenty-six quarts of spring water a quarter of an hour, and when it is blood warm, put twenty-five pounds of Malaga raisins, picked, rubbed, and shred, into it, with almost half a bushel of red sage shred, and a porringer of ale yeast, stir it all well together, and let it stand in a tub, covered warm, six or seven days, stirring it once a day: then strain it off, and put it in a runlet. Let it work three or four days, and then stop it up; when it has stood six or seven days, put in a quart or two of Malaga sack; and when it is fine, bottle it. 228. GILLIFLOWER WINE.
