All recipes should stand for 10 minutes once the mustard is mixed with the liquid. Cooking or heating decreases the strength of the final product.
A hand mill in case you want to make mustard.

—Evaporate 30 quarts of freshly pressed wine-must to one-half its volume over a moderate fire, dissolve in it 5 lbs. of sugar, and strain the whole over 2 or 3 roots of horseradish cut in thin slices. Then add in the form of fine powder, cardamoms 0.35 oz., nutmeg 0.35 oz., cloves 0.63 oz., cinnamon 1 oz., ginger 1 oz., mustard seed, ground and freed from oil, brown 6 lbs. and white 11 lbs. Grind the whole several times in a mill and strain.
Gumpoldskirchner is a city in Eastern Austria. Our ancient fathers had nothing to waste, so if the grapes didn't get enough water, or too much water, or not enough sun, or too much sun and would never make good wine, the "must" or expressed grape juice, prior to it's fermenting, was used. Here, to make a fabulous mustard. Gumpoldskirchner wine always has these two grape varieties Zierfandler and Rotgipfler.
Moutard des Jesuits.—Make a paste of 12 sardines and 280 capers and stir it into 53 ozs. of boiling vinegar, and mix with it ground mustard-seed freed from oil, brown 5 1/2 ozs. and white 14 1/2 ounces.
Freed from oil means, mustard seeds, de-hulled, ground, pressed to extract the mustard oil, and then dried to a powder, reground, packaged for commerce. The best is Mustard Flour. Flour makes a creamy smooth mustard. I always wonder about the "12 sardines and 280 capers". It would be a nuisance to count them.
French Mustard.—Ground mustard 2 lbs., and 1/2 oz. each of fresh parsley and tarragon, both cut up fine, are thoroughly mixed together; further 1 clove of garlic, also add, cut up very fine, 12 salted anchovies. Grind the mixture very fine, add the required must and 1 oz. of pulverized common salt, and for further grinding dilute with water. To evaporate the water after grinding the mustard, heat an iron red-hot and cool it off in the mixture, and then add wine-vinegar of the best quality.
Salted anchovies would be reconstituted in the water or vinegar, prior to grinding for use. I find them easy to separate and remove the spine bones. These bones are so tiny. If you have a good food processor you could grind them without the labor of removing the spines.
Salted anchovies are dried anchovies and available at Asian Supermarkets. I have made this, using an 8" piece of rebar. It's nearly impossible to get the rebar hot enough. When I can, I'll have a metal worker (that's blacksmith) fashion a wrought iron poker with a spade end for this recipe.
Ordinary Mustard.—I. Stir gradually 1 pint of good white wine into 8 ozs. of ground mustard-seed, add a pinch of pulverized cloves, and let the whole boil over a moderate fire. Then add a small lump of white sugar, and let the mixture boil up at once.

Place the alembic upon hot sand for 4 days, then filter the fluid first through linen and then through blotting paper. Add to this aromatic vinegar, 1 oz. of common salt, then stir it into a thick paste with ground brown mustard-seed, and keep the the mustard in earthenware jars tied up with bladder.

Four Thieves Vinegar.—Said to have been invented during a great plague in Marseilles, (some say during the London plague,) by four thieves, who employed it to prevent infection during their predatory visits to the houses of the dead or absent.
Macerate cloves, sage, rosemary, rue, allspice, calamus, caraway, nutmegs, of each one ounce, in two gallons of strong vinegar. Then add half an ounce of camphor.

Tarragon Vinegar.—Soak for several days 1 pound of the herb, (Artemesia Dracunculus,) before blossoming, in from 1 to 2 gallons of very strong vinegar. Press out the liquid and filter. The vinegar may be made extemporaneously by dropping a few drops of the oil of tarragon upon a lump of sugar, and adding to the vinegar. For table use the vinegar should not be too strongly flavored with the herb.
Vinaigre aux fines herbes.—Tarragon, (herb,) 12 ounces; basil, (herb,) 4 ounces; laurel leaves, 4
ounces; shallots, (Allium Ascalonicum,) 2 ounces: are suffered to stand for a few days in 1/2 a gallon of strong vinegar. Press and filter. A little added to table vinegar improves it.

Ravigote is probably what is intended here. It's a typo.
Mustard vinegar is also employed as an addition to vinegar, and is made by soaking from 8 to 12 ounces of black mustard in 1 quart of strong vinegar. Press and filter.
Raspberry vinegar.—Ripe berries are pressed and suffered to stand for several days, after which the clear juice may be separated. To every pound of berries add from 6 to 8 quarts of strong vinegar, and press after 24 hours. Sweetened with sugar is used as an agreeable summer drink.
Rose, orange blossom, neroli, bergamot, and clove vinegars, may be made by adding the respective oils to vinegar. They may be added to the last wash in the quick process to yield a finely flavored vinegar.
