Jamaica Ginger-beer.
1 bottle Jamaica Ginger Extract.
1 oz. cream-tartar.
6 quarts water.
1 lb. sugar.
Stir until the sugar is melted, then put in the grated peel of a lemon, and heat until blood-warm. Add a tablespoonful of brewers’ yeast; stir well and bottle, wiring down the corks. It will be fit for use in four days.
This is a refreshing and healthful beverage mixed with pounded ice in hot weather.
