  you retail at your own bar makes it far better; colour with tincture of
  saunders to suit; drink freely of this hot on going to bed; when you have
  a bad cold; and in the morning you will bless ginger wine。
  64。 HOP BEER
  Take of hops 6 oz。; molasses 5 quarts; boil the hops in water till the
  strength is out; strain them into a 30 gallon barrel; add the molasses and
  a teacupful of yeast; and fill up with water; shake it well and leave the
  bung out until fermented; which will be in about 24 hours; bung up; and it
  will be fit for use in about 3 days。 A most excellent summer drink;
  smaller quantities in proportion。
  65。 USQUEBAUGH OR IRISH WHISKEY
  Best brandy 1 gallon; stoned raisins 1 lb。; cinnamon; cloves; nutmeg; and
  cardamom; each 1 oz。; crushed in a morter; saffron 1/2 oz。; or the rind of
  1 Seville orange; and a little sugar candy; shake these well; and it is
  ready for use in 14 days。
  66。 ICE CREAM
  Add a little rich sweet cream; and 1/2 lb。 of loaf sugar to each quart of
  cream or milk; if you cannot get cream the best imitation is to boil a
  soft custard; 6 eggs to each quart of milk; (eggs well beaten); or another
  way; boil a quart of milk; and stir into it; while boiling; a
  tablespoonful of arrow…root; wet with cold milk; then cool stir in the
  yolk of one egg; to give a rich colour; five minutes boiling is enough for
  either plan; put the sugar in after they cool; keep the same proportions
  for any amount desired。 The juice of strawberries; or raspberries; give a
  beautiful colour and flavour to ice creams; or about 1/2 oz。 of the
  essence or extracts to a gallon; or to suit the taste。 Have your ice well
  broken; add 1 quart of salt to a bucket of ice; then place in this the
  vessel containing your cream; and about one half hour's constant stirring
  and occasional scraping down and beating together will freeze it。
  67。 CHICAGO ICE CREAM
  Irish moss soaked in warm water about an hour; and rinsed well to clear it
  of a certain foreign taste; then steep it in milk; keeping it just at the
  point of boiling or simmering for an hour; or until a rich yellow colour
  is given to the milk; without cream or eggs; 1 or 1 1/2 oz。 of moss is
  enough for a gallon of cream; and this will do to steep twice。 Sweeten and
  flavour as other cream。
  68。 CREAM SODA
  Loaf sugar 10 lb。; water 3 gills; mix; and warm gradually; so as not to
  burn; good rich cream 2 quarts; extract vanilla 1 1/2 oz。; extract nutmeg
  1/4 oz。; and tartaric acid 4 oz。; just bring to a boiling heat; for if you
  cook it any length of time it will crystallize。 Use 4 or 5 spoonsful of
  this syrup instead of 3; as in other syrups; put 1/3 teaspoonful of soda
  to a glass; if used without fountain。 For charged fountains no acid is
  used。
  69。 LEMON SYRUP
  Take of the juice of lemons one pint; white sugar one and a half pound;
  and a little of the peel。 Mix and boil a few minutes; strain; and when a
  little cool; bottle; and cork; for use。
  70。 ORANGE AND RASPBERRY SYRUPS
  Take of the juice of either; as the case may be; one pint; white sugar one
  and a half pound。 If it be orange a little of the peel; tartaric acid 4
  oz。 Mix and boil a few minutes; strain; and when a little cool; bottle and
  cork for use。 When to be drank; mix three or four tablespoonsful of syrup
  with three quarters of a glass of water; and add a teaspoonful of soda。 If
  water be added to the syrup it will not keep well。
  71。 PURE WINE
  Take three pounds of nice raisins free of stems; cut each one in two or
  three pieces; put them into a stone jug with one gallon pure soft water;
  let them stand two weeks uncovered; shaking occasionally (put in a warm
  place in winter;) strain through three or four thicknesses of woollen; or
  filter; colour with burned sugar; bottle and cork for use。 For saloon
  purposes; add one pint of good brandy。 The more raisins the better the
  wine; not exceeding 5 lbs。
  72 PURE WINE VINEGAR
  This is made by putting the same quantity of water on the above raisins;
  after the wine is poured off; as at first for making wine; and standing
  the same length of time; in the same way。
  73。 PORT WINE
  Take 42 gallons of worked cider; 12 gallons of good port wine; 3 gallons
  good brandy; 6 gallons pure spirits。 Mix together。 Elder…berries and
  sloes; or fruit of the black hawes; make a fine purple colour for wines。
  74。 CHAMPAGNE WINE
  Take of good cider (crab…apple cider is best) seven gallons; best fourth
  proof brandy one quart; genuine champagne wine five quarts; milk one gill;
  bitartrate of potash 2 oz。 Mix and let it stand a short time; bottle while
  fermenting。 This makes an excellent imitation of champagne with age。
  75。 CURRANT AND OTHER FRUIT WINES
  For currant; cherry; raspberry; elderberry; strawberry; whortleberry; and
  wild grape wines; any one can be used alone; or in combination of several
  of the different kinds; to make a variety of flavours; or suit persons who
  have some and not the other kinds of fruits; to every gallon of expressed
  juice; add 2 galls。 of soft water; put in 6 or 8 lbs。 of brown sugar; and
  1 1/2 oz。 of cream of tartar; have them dissolved; put 1 quart of brandy
  to every 6 galls。 Some prefer it without brandy。 After fermentation; take
  4 oz。 isinglass; dissolved in a pint of the wine; put to each barrel; and
  it will refine and clear it; then it must be drawn off into clear casks;
  or bottled; which is far the best。 Give these wines age and they are most
  delicious。
  76。 DINNER WINE OR ENGLISH PATENT WINE
  From garden rhubarb; which will not lend to intemperance。 An agreeable and
  healthy wine is very frequently made from the expressed juice of the
  garden rhubarb。 To each gallon of juice add 1 gallon of soft water; in
  which 7 lbs。 of brown sugar have been dissolved; fill a keg or barrel with
  this proportion; leaving the bung out; and keep it filled with sweetened
  water as it works off until clear。 Any other vegetable extract may be
  added; if this flavour is not liked。 Then bung down; or bottle; as you
  desire。 These stalks will furnish about 3/4 their weight in juice; fine
  and settle with isinglass; as in the fruit wines。 This has been patented
  in England。
  77。 VARIOUS WINES
  Take 28 gallons of clarified cider; 1 gallon geed brandy; 1 lb。 crude
  tartar; (this is what is deposited by grape wines) 5 gallons of any wine
  you wish to represent; 1 pint of sweet milk to settle it; draw off in 24
  or 36 hours after thoroughly mixing。
  78。 BLACKBERRY AND STRAWBERRY WINES
  These are made by taking the above wine when made with port wine; and for
  every 10 gallons; form 4 to 6 quarts of the fresh fruit; bruised and
  strained; are added; and let it stand till the flavour is extracted; more
  or less may be used to suit the tastes of different persons。 In bottling
  any of those wines 3 or four broken raisins put into each bottle will add
  to their richness and flavour。
  79。 FRENCH BRANDY
  Take of pure spirit 1 gallon; best French brandy; or any kind you wish to
  imitate; even Otard; 1 quart; loaf sugar 2 oz。; sweet spirits of nitre 1/2
  oz。; a few drops of tincture of catechu; or oak bark; to roughen the taste
  if desired; colour to suit your taste; and bottle。
  80。 BRANDY FROM OIL COGNAC
  Take of pure spirits 10 gallons; New England rum 2 quarts; or Jamaica rum
  1 quart; and oil cognac from 30 to 40 drops; put in half a pint of
  alcohol; colour with tincture of kino; or burned sugar; which is generally
  preferred。 Mix well and bottle。
  81。 PALE BRANDY
  This is made as the French brandy; using pale instead of the French; and
  using 1 oz。 of tincture of kino for colour; only for 5 gallons。
  82 CHERRY BRANDY
  To every 10 gallons of brandy add 3 quarts of wild black cherries; stones
  and all bruised; and crushed sugar 2 lbs。 Let it stand until the strength
  and flavour is obtained; and draw from it as wanted for use。 Never attempt
  to use oil of bitter almonds for this purpose; instead of the cherries;
  for it is a most deadly poison。
  83。 BLACKBERRY BRANDY
  Take of brandy 10 gallons; nice rich blackberries mashed from 4 to 6
  quarts; according to the degree of flavour you wish。 Mix and add a little
  sugar to overcome the acidity of the berries; according to their ripeness
  will the amount vary from one to 4 oz。 to each gallon。
  84。 STRAWBERRY BRANDY
  This is made as the above; using very nice ripe strawberries; and only
  about half the quantity of sugar。
  Receipts 85; 86 & 87 not printed
  88。 HOLLAND GIN
  Take of pure spirits 1 gallon; best Holland gin; schnapps; or any kind
  desired; 1 quart; oil of juniper
