[Sca-cooks] "An Arab Mead" !!!

[johnna holloway]

It seems to me that it's a medicinal syrup.
Not seeing the recipe in the context of what
recipes come before and after it or what
commentary the author offered along with the
recipes in general, I'll vote medicinal.
Just because the ingredients used to make this
"syrup" might in another context be used to
make mead or a sack pyment doesn't make this a
mead recipe.
