1. Do we know whether hippocras was served hot? It's how we usually
serve it, but I don't think I have any evidence that it is how they
served it.
2. The Andalusian cookbook has a whole chapter of drinks at the
end--typically flavored syrups (sekanjabin is the best known of
them). It explicitly says that some of them are supposed to be served
hot. On the other hand, the chapter also contains a lot of medicinal
comments, so it isn't clear whether they are thought of mainly as
drinks or mainly as medicine.
3. My vague memory is that some of the beer based drinks were served
hot. Braggot? Lambs wool?
