Lemon Wine
INGREDIENTS.-To 4½ gallons of water allow the pulp of 50 lemons, the rind of 25, 16 lbs. of loaf sugar, 1/2 oz. of isinglass, 1 bottle of brandy.
Peel and slice the lemons, but use only the rind of 25 of them and put them into the cold water. Let it stand 8 or 9 days, squeezing the lemons well every day; then strain the water off and put it into a cask with the sugar. Let it work some time; and when it has ceased working, put in the isinglass. Stop the cask down; in about 6 months put in the brandy and bottle the wine off.
SEASONABLE. The best time to make this is in January or February, when lemons are best and cheapest.
