summary:
  In March Bottle your Cyder , and if you put in a●●ut half a Spoonful of Spirit of Clary , it will make ●●e Liqu●● so perfectly resemble the best Canary , ●hat few good and exercis'd Pallats , will be able to distinguish it . Take a quart of New Milk , after it has stood five or six Hours from the time it was milk'd , put to it a third part of River or Spring Water , set it on a clear fire ; then take some Wheat-Flower , and temper it with either Water or Milk into a Batter , and when the Milk is ready to boyl , put in your Thickning , and stir it a while ; and when it is ready to boyl again , take it off ; then put as much Salt and Bread to it as you please , then let it cool without stirring it , and it will eat much sweeter : Two spoonfuls of Flower is enough for a quart of Milk and Water , make it about the thickness of ordinary Milk-pottage .
