3. Crush the grapes with your hands and place them in an earthen jar.

4. Whip the egg whites well.

5. Add 4 lbs. of sugar and all the other ingredients to the crushed grapes.

6. Cover the jar with a lid. Use a well-fitting lid to prevent any dust or insects from entering the jar.

7. Open the lid once a day to stir the contents for 21 days. Ensure that you replace the lid properly after stirring.

8. Add the remaining 4 lbs. of sugar into the jar after 21 days.
