Molasses Beer
Take five pints of molasses, half a pint of yeast, two spoonsful of
pounded ginger, and one of allspice; put these into a clean half-barrel,
and pour on it two gallons of boiling water; shake it till a
fermentation is produced; then fill it up with warm water, and let it
work with the bung out, a day, when it will be fit for use; remove it to
a cold place, or bottle it. This is a very good drink for laboring
people in warm weather.
