An Hydromel of Cherries.
Take Spring Water 6 quarts; Honey 1 quart; when its boil'd to a perfect Despumation, add Juice of red Cherries 1 quart; and boil it a little more, scumming it carefully.
Its a delicate pleasant tasted Liquor, and may serve for usual Drink, to quench Thirst, Dilute and Maturate.
After the same manner, may be prepar'd Hydromels of Juice of Citron, or any other grateful acid Juices, saith Dr. Lasher.
