Of drinks as of Aples to make cyder I cannot name our cyder Aples for I use to mix all the ripe at once in the orchard that is of a fine Juice and easie to separat from the flesh and pears that have plenty of Juice and hard flesh though harsh In France they extoll the Rennet cyder in England the Hereford Redstrake Which in France they set at naught they speak of genetmoil and musts some pipens and parmains And for Perry the bromsbury and Ruddy horse pear All which and many more Hugh Wood Gard'ner at Hamiltone has to sel But now the different soils begets alterations in fruits besides the climate yet both defects may be a little helped The first by using all diligence to prepare the ground throughly as is directed in Chap. 2. Fallowing is a most commendable essay The second by graffing and regraffing upon early good fence and shelter round the ground are very conducible To make this excellent Wine provide trough and beatters press and harbag lagallon and tappering fat barrels and hogsheads for even by the common screw press I have made a hogshead cyder in a day be sure your vessells be sweet else you spoil all white Wine Sack-cask or such as keept cyder before I have heard of cyder-cask 3 Inches thick in the staves which I believe is of great Advantage in preserving the liquor but if any be tainted put a little unstaked Lyme Stone and a little water in the Barrell and stop it close when stood a little while and jumbled pour out and wash clean that will cure The fruit being gathered ripe as before let them ly ten or twelve days if summer fruit and near the double of that time if winter sorts but the late ripe that gets frosts is not good cyder mix not with unripe ones neither suffer leaves nor stalks among them When they are small beat put them in the harbag within the press far and so screw them hard again and again and emptie it thereof and put in more and do as before and empty the receiver into the tappering fat and therein cover it close with a canvass till the morrow at that time before you tun it where the gross lee may fall to the bottom then draw it off at a tap three Inches from the bottom leaving that dreg behind The which may go among the pressings for water cyder the clearer you tun it into the barrels the less it ferments and that 's best cyder for often cyder spends its strength to free it self of the grosser parts therefore while your cyder ferments leave the vent pin loose but keep close the bung for preserving the prodigall wast of its spirit and as soon as the working begin to allay drive the vent pin dead to and this will be perhaps in a fortnight if it begins to work Immediatly some times not till the Spring But keep fast the pin till it begins to work and that you mind to bottle of it do as soon as fully clear and fine which is ordinarly at Spring Put a plum great of fine white loaf sugar in each bottle and above all make your corks fast and close then set them in the celler amongst sand To make the water cyder put 1 ● as much water as you had cyder upon the new pressed marce to stand covered in tubs 4 or 5 dayes then press them and boyl the liquor scumming it till the scum cease to rise fast then take it off for too much boyling wasteth its spitits and put in tubs or coolers and when cold tun it up when done working which ●ll not be so violent as best cyder make the pin fast and in a short time it s for drinking A little ginger cloves juniper berries or such may be boyl'd in it if they please your tast The making of Perry differs not from that of cyder To make Cherrie Wine to every pound ripe fruit stampt put a Chopin spring-Spring-water and ¼ pound fin white sugar boyl the water and sugar scum it and put in the juice of your Cherries let it boyl up again take it off the fire run it through a hair-sive and when it s throughly cold put it in a stone pot and after 6 or 7 dayes draw it into bottles putting a bit loaf sugar in each in a quarter year you may fall a drinking it will keep a year if you would have it stronger then use no more water than sugar After the sawe manner you may make wine of Rasps Currans Goosberries or Take currans very ripe bruise and strain them and to every pint of the Iuice put a pound and ¼ sugar into a stone or earthen pot scum it often and at a weeks end draw it off and take out the setlings and put in the liquor again do this till it be fine then bottle it and at a weeks end if

it be not fine in the bottles shift it into other bottles Gather your Goosberries e're they be too ripe and for every three pound stampt fruit a chopin of water and a pound sugar steep them 24 houres then strain them put the liquor into a a vessel close stopt a fortnight or three weeks then draw it off if you find it fine otherwayes suffer it longer and if not fine yet rak it It s usuall to make it thus unboyl'd because it contracts a broun colour in boyling To every pint Rasps a pound sugar let them stand two dayes in an earthen pot often stirring and bruising them then put them in a woollen bag to hang up 24 houres and more till the liquor drop out into a stone pot suffer it there till fermented and scum'd and at a weeks end or sooner if fine bottle it and at another weeks end shift it into fresh bottles that you may leave the setlings behind thus shift them so long as you see any settlement the which you may put in a bottle by it self Of some sorts of Plumes as damasons c. may be made wine That called Cherrie brandie is a bottle half full of geens fill'd up with brandi● sometimes Jumbled a little and in a moneths time is fit for drinking Or if you put the like quantity of Goosberries instead of Che●ries that will make the brandie very Delicious Cherries best for wine are blackheart morella I think the red geen most excellent See Chap. 3. Sect. 2. Of Goosberries the great Chrystal and of currans the great Dutch red also the red Rasp To have Ail of Liquorish slice it very small and pour Water on it when at the boyl there cover it close till the morrow powr off this wort and on more hot-water to stand as long to search it throughly add your worts together and boyl with a little dry Wormwood Carduus Benedictus but the greatest difficulty is to barme it when cold as wort of malt yet the stronger you make it the easier it will take or if you have the conveniency of settlings of good wort of malt to boyl with it that will facilitate the work To have good metheglin take one part of clarified Hony and eight parts of pure Water and boyl well together in a Copper vessel till the consumption of the half but while it boyls take off the scum and when done boyling and beginnes to cool tun it up and it will work of it self as soon as done working stop it very close Some advises to bury it under ground three moneths and that to make if lose both smell and tast of Hony and Wax and tast very like Wine I use to add dry Rosmary and sweet Marjorum in boyling some barms it as Ail which I have practised effectually 6.
