Walnut Mead Wine
To every gallon of water put three and one-half pounds of honey, and boil them together three-quarters of an hour. Then to every gallon of liquor put about two dozen of walnut leaves; pour boiling liquor upon them and let stand all night. Then take out the leaves and put in a spoonful of yeast, and let it stand for two or three days. Then make it up, and after it has stood for three months, bottle it.
