Wine from Cider

Add to a barrell of cider from the press, honey sufficient to bear up an egg; work all of the filth out of the bung hole, by keeping the barrell full; in about five weeks, draw off the pure liquor into a tub, and put the whites of eight eggs, well beaten up with a pint of clean sand into a tub; then add one gallon of cider spirits, and mix the whole together; and having cleansed the barrell, return the liquor into it, bung it tight, and when fine, rack it off into kegs for use. It does not cost 25 cents per gallon.
