Directions
Ingredients : Two and a half pounds loaf sugar, one and a half ounces of bruised ginger, one ounce of cream of tartar, the rind and juice of two lemons, three gallons of boiling water, two large tablespoonfuls of thick and fresh brewer's yeast.

Pour over these ingredients three gallons of boiling water, let it stand until just warm, when add the yeast, which should be perfectly fresh.

To Make a Small Quantity Quickly — Over three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar, one and a quarter ounces of sliced ginger, and the peel of a lemon, pour a gallon of boiling water; when lukewarm, add a spoonful of yeast and the juice of a lemon. This last is a most conve- nient receipt, when only a small quantity for some particular occasion is required, and is as quickly made and not much trouble to prepare. The yeast should be in one night.
