To Clarify Honey (Dissolve the honey in water)

Dissolve the honey in water, add 14 pounds animal charcoal to every 28 pounds of honey, gently simmer for 15 minutes, add a little chalk to saturate excess of acid, if required; strain or clarify, and evaporate. Observe. - Honey acquires a darker color if heated in copper or iron vessels; the above processes should therefore be conducted in carthen or welltinned copper pans.
