First Sekanjabin is only one of many similar drinks. After some discussion
on this list, I settled on the name jalab as the general name for this
type of drink. I seem to remember some period recipes for similar type
drinks that do include ginger. Even within sekanjabin you will find
variations that depend on different vinegars being used or honey vs.
sugar.

base such
as Sekanjabin (Persian Mint Drink).

two recipes because of missing words int he original) in this file.
