greetings, the list.

Help!  I have a late-period Italian feast to cook in June, and the only
Italian sources I have are Platina and Santich's Original Mediterranean
Cuisine.  This is not a problem for food, but I can't find anything to
suggest what would have been drunk with feasts, except for wine; Santich
mentions hypocras drunk with the last course, but gives no documentation
for it.  Does anyone have an recipe for an Italian version of hypocras?
any mention of cordials (eg lemon cordial)?  Any English translations of
Italian sources on the web?

hopefully,
JdH
