An Excellent Summer Beer

One ounce burdock seed, two ounces dandelion roots, two ounces butternut bark, two ounces sassafras root bark; boil these in two gallons water for one hour, strain through fine cloth and stir in ginger one tablespoonful, molasses one quart, add one teacup yeast, skim off the skum that rises from the first working and cork up tight as soon as it is clear. Keep it in a cool place after it has worked. Drink as much as you like.
