About this title

Synopsis

This manual works equally well for the novice brewer, the advanced brewer, and food historians or Living History enthusiasts. Having an emphasis on Colonial America, within may be found more than fifty recipes for beer and ale as well as mead and hard cider, extracted from historic recipes two or more centuries old. In addition, coffee and tea recipes have a place within, plus recipes for Christmas wines, egg nogg, bounce, several versions of punch, and more than a dozen other mixed drinks. Fear not, for all of the recipes are converted over to modern measurements, taste tested, and are in easily handled amounts. No historic food library is complete without this work.
