Orange Wine 1
Take six gallons of
water and fifteen pounds of powder sugar, the whites of six eggs well beaten,
boil them three quarters of an hour, and skim them while any skim will rise;
when it is cold enough for working, put to it six ounces of the syrup of
citron or lemons, and six spoonfuls of yeast, beat the syrup and yeast well
together, and put in the peel and juice of fifty oranges, work it two days and
a night, then tun it up into a barrel, so bottle it at three or four months
old.
