  1. Water
  2. Must
  3. a Peck of Apples

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Take a Peck of Apples, and slice them, and boil them in a barrel of water, till the third part be wasted ;
  2. Then cool your water as you do for wort, and when it is cold, you must pour the water upon three measures of grown Apples.
  3. Then draw forth the water at a tap three or four times a day, for three days together.
  4. Then press outthe Liquor, and Tun it up ;
  5. when it hath done working, then stop it up close.
