    Ehh-(shudder, shudder, twitch, twitch!)  Bad memories of sekanjabin
flavoured with mint-flavoured pekoe tea.  We said--mint tea, meaning
Celestial Seasonings, they heard (mint) Tea!

   If the staff is willing to use y'all's recipes, I would see if you
could get them to consider coming to a tasting party, so they will have
some idea of what you want.  As with spinning, Moderns have a rather
distorted idea of medieval food, not at all helped by the proliferation
of Ren Faires in the last few years.
