Ginger Beer

Ginger beer is also an excellent summer beverage. It is easy to make, as it contains no materials except those found in the closet or the druggist's shops. Boil eleven ounces of ginger root, or ordinary ginger, tied in a bag for half an hour, in a gallon of water, with the yellow peel of two lemons. Then add six gallons more of water, ten pounds of sugar, the juice of four lemons, half a pound of honey and three pints of yeast. Strain it when cold, add the white of one egg well beaten and let the beer stand for four days. Then bottle it.
