Ingredients

  • six ounces of honey to four quarts of warm water
  • four quarts of warm water

Directions

1

Mix your mead in the proportion of thirty-six ounces of honey to four quarts of warm water; when the honey is completely held in solution, pour it into a cask. When fermented, and become perfectly clear, bottle and cork it well. If properly prepared, it is a pleasant and wholesome drink; and in summer particularly grateful, on account of the large quantity of carbonic acid gas which it contains. Its goodness, however, depends greatly on the _time_ of bottling, and other circumstances, which can only be acquired by practice.
