[RPG] How to acquire Holy Water as a Cleric in 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

adnd-1eclericequipment

I've looked through the 1st Edition Player's Handbook but cannot find any reference to acquiring Holy Water. Is this something I can create as a level 1 Acolyte or does it need to be acquired from a stronger Cleric until a later level?

I have read and know the answer for 5E (Can clerics create holy water?), I am only interested in 1st Edition.

The Player's Handbook lists holy water as available for purchase for 25 gp on page 36 under Religious Items as Water, Holy, vial.

The Dungeon Master's Guide contains instructions for clerics on how to manufacture holy (and unholy) water on pages 114-115 in the section entitled Creation of Holy/Unholy Water. Since the instructions run about 500 words and are in the DMG, it's probably a good idea to ask the DM directly how it's done in that DM's campaign.
