[Sca-cooks] Sekunjabin question

[BaronessaIlaria at aol.com]

Hi all

Using the following recipe, which has been posted in the Florilegium and is
the one from the Miscelleny, approximately how much final product would
result if the dilution is 5 to 1? Since some of the liquid evaporates while
making the syrup I am trying to estimate how many batches of syrup I will
need for an upcoming event. Rough guesses would be helpful.

4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup vinegar
handfull of fresh mint

Many thanks,

Ilaria
