Further instructions for making hydromel, mead, or mulse by the Gôta method

WHEN they are about to make a great quantity of mead, mostly to sell for a fine profit, the northern peoples sometimes take one, two, or three thousand pounds of completely pure honey with a proportionate amount of water, and bog-myrtle leaves. These, like the berries of the juniper, grow on a low bush, one ell high, in marshy land, and come to maturity in August.
