You might want to consider using some of the recipes in this file in
the BEVERAGES section of my files as a starting point. There are a number
of these recipes given by Master Cariadoc (you could also look in the
Miscellany). I had hoped to make serveral of these for my recent Royalty
luncheon but couldn't figure out what some of the spices were or how
to get them since I waited way too close to the event to decide on which
ones to make. So I made a rose jalab and a lime one. I don't think lime
was period though.
