MAKE YOUR OWN APACHE WHISKY


APACHE WHISKEY

Make your own intoxicating liquor of extra ordinary ferocity.

First you will need some corn which you are to soak for 24 hours, next dig a hole

in the ground, inside your wigwam is the best spot, lay dry grass on it's bottom and on this

grass lay your corn with a layer of grass over it. Sprinkle it five times each day with warm

water and at night everyone sleep on it to generate some heat. Also makes the corn 'sprout'

quick. At the end of the fifth day the corn is all 'sprouted' . Dry it off and pound it to a fine

powder, put in an iron kettle to boil five hours or so. Let it cool. Now, mix it with sugar

and flour, and leave it to ferment twelve hours. Then now it is time to drink. It is not

too rank and has a very great intoxicating power. You can call it 'disquin' or 'tistween'.

After a few drinks 'who cares what shape the world is in' . This manner of

manufacture is given us by a 'friendly' Apache Pass Apache Indian.
