SC - Drink suggestions?

[Charles McCathieNevile]

Claree (Spiced Wine)
take halrf measure cinnamon, ginger, mace, 1/3 measure cloves nutmeg, 
malabathrum???; fennel anise, caraway seeds in the same amount (1/3?), 
cardamon and squiant a fourth of a measure, and spikenard 1/2 of all others.

Grind into powder, put in a cloth pouch, pour wine through and wring out. 
the more you pour through the stronger.

if you haven't everything, 2 measures cinnamon, mace, cloves ginger, 
and spikenard 1/2 of all the others.

(two anglo-norman culinary collections. Speculum 61/4 (1986) p877. 13th C)

But I don't have a redaction for it, and the qunatities may be wrong.
notes: squiant - a type of eastern grass - from the article.

Cheers
Charles
