II. WINES.

Take the Elder Berries cleaned of their stalks, beat them in a stone mor∣tar, or earthen vessel, with a wooden pestle, till all the Kernels be well brui∣sed; with this succulent matter fill the 8, 10, or 12 part of a little barrel, as you will have it of more or less effica∣cy, fill up the rest with Must, or new Wine, that they may work together.

Some boyle equal parts of this suc∣culent matter and Must together, till the consumption of a third part of the whole, on a slow fire; then straining it through a thin linnen cloth, they put it (as is said) in a greater quantity into a Barrel, put Must thereon, and so suffer them to work.

Quercetans receipt thereof is set down in seat. 3. cap. 24.

This is an excellent way.

Being all grosly pulverised, sow them loosly in a knot; put them in a vessel that holds twelve English quarts, or thereabouts, fill up the rest with the best and most fragrant white Wine, and place it a fortnight or above in a Wine Cellar; which is to be used in time of repast, for tis an ex∣cellent stomachical drink, most deli∣cious in colour, taste, and smell.
