Pour on five pints of boiling water. Meanwhile chop the bananas into small pieces and boil them in one pint of water until they go mushy, then strain the banana liquid into the bucket, stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
Ferment in a covered bucket for 10 days, stirring twice daily, then strain into a gallon jar. Fit air-lock and leave to ferment.
