  2. Stir them well until it reaches boiling heat, let them cook fifteen or twenty minutes, then-strain through a cloth.

  4. When the sugar is dissolved, strain again through a cloth ;
  5. heat it to a boiling point again, pour it into pint or quart bottles and seal instantly.

  7. Have the bottles thoroughly heated and use new corks;
  8. dip the neck with corks in into the hot sealing wax.
