Hop Beer

Mrs. Dickinson.

One handful of hops, boil an hour, strain, and add one pint of molasses, and enough water to make two gallons. When milk-warm, add one cup or cake of yeast; let it stand over night; skim and pour it off from the yeast carefully ; add one tablespoon of wintergreen, and bottle for use.
