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。

88。 HOLLAND GIN
Take of pure spirits 1 gallon; best Holland gin; schnapps; or any kind
desired; 1 quart; oil of juniper
