GINGER WINE

Put twelve pounds of loaf sugar and six ounces of powdered ginger into six gallons of water; let it boil for an hour, then beat up the whites of half a dozen eggs with a whisk, and mix them well with the liquor. WTien quite cold put it into a barrel, with six lemons cut into slices, and a cupful of yeast; let it work for three days, then put it in the bung. In a week's time you may bottle it, and it will be ready for immediate use.
