But they aren't called sekanjabin.

I have a period recipe, entitled "simple sekanjabin," with some missing
bits, that uses vinegar with sugar or honey. I have a modern sekanjabin
recipe that uses sugar, vinegar, and mint. I have lots and lots of period
recipes for flavored syrups to be diluted hot and cold, but the other ones
aren't called "sekanjabin."
