Cock ale was believed to be a strengthening and restorative compound and was prepared according to the following recipe: "Take a cock a half a year old, kill him and truss him well, and put into 12 gallons of Ale to which add 4 lbs raisins of the sun well picked and stoned, washed, and dryed; sliced dates, half a pound, nutmegs and mace 2 ounces: Infuse the dates and spices in a quart of canary 24 hours, then boil the cock in a manner to a jelly, till a gallon of water is reduced to two quarts; then press the body of him extremely well, and put the liquor into the cask where the Ale is, with pieces of fruit and spices. Let it work well for a day or two and in two days you may broach it for use, or in hot weather, the second day; and if it proves too strong you may add more plain table ale to palliate this restorative drink, which contributes much to the invigoration of nature."
