I have; read my article in the Florilegium.  The best thing is to go easy on 
the spices, especially cloves.  Cloves have a tendency to numb the palate.   
Try to keep the total weight of spices to around two ounces per gallon of 
water.  You want sweetened, flavored water, not thinned, spicy honey.

BTW, isn't there a recipe for a raisin drink buried somewhere in the 
"Manuscrito Anonimo"?
