I have taken this wholesale from Cariadoc's Miscellany - it is the recipe I use to make my "Baron's Blood" (by appointment to Her Exellency Miriam d' Mont Noir - luckily the Baron likes a joke!  He seemed impressed by the label on the bottle I gave him for his birthday.

"Sekanjabin
Dissolve 4 cups sugar in 2 1/2 cups of water; when it comes to a boil add 1 cup wine vinegar. Simmer 1/2 hour. Add a handful of mint, remove from fire, let cool. Dilute the resulting syrup to taste with ice water (5 to 10 parts water to 1 part syrup). The syrup stores without refrigeration.

Note: This is the only recipe in the Miscelleny that is based on a modern source: A Book of Middle Eastern Food, by Claudia Roden. Sekanjabin is a period drink; it is mentioned in the Fihrist of al-Nadim, which was written in the tenth century. The only period recipe I have found for it (in the Andalusian cookbook) is called "Sekanjabin Simple" and omits the mint. It is one of a large variety of similar drinks described in that cookbook-flavored syrups intended to be diluted in either hot or cold water before drinking."

Oh, Ynys Fawr is Tasmania and one of our cantons - Hunter's Isle - have linked with Ynys Gwaed.
