You got me.

Since Austin apparently saw nothing confusing about the term (and
probably since we're all spoiled by Connie Hieatt's work), we're left
with a huge question mark, unless perhaps we can look in a
fifteenth-century English dictionary. The context would seem to indicate
either the pottage in general is to be thinned down a bit with wine, or
the last two named ingredients, the cinnamon and the ginger (I think)
are to be what Scully usually calls "distempered" (basically infused) in
wine. I think the end result would be more or less the same.
