As I said, there's a good one in HG Cariadoc's Miscellany. Ordinarily I
tend to want to do my own adaptations/redactions, but this recipe from
Le Menagier is so straightforward that whatever I could come up with on
my own would be virtually identical to what Cariadoc came up with,
assuming accurate scales, etc.

Nice to see consistency among pharmacists, eh?

On a related note, I've recently been playing with Ms Add 32085 and see
there's a clary recipe that is nearly identical to most of the hippocras
recipes I've seen, except for the fact that it appears to lack sugar.
For those who pay attention to this stuff, would they say that that
would be a defining characteristic, that hippocras has sugar and clary
doesn't? I think I haven't seen enough clary recipes yet.
