Yes, I saw something about that in the florilegium.  Will have to look
it up.

They would be fine.  I will definitely look into them.  (I am sensitive
to dairy and too much of it makes me feel nauseous, and my close friend
and co-conspirator in this has problems with red wine (it can bring on
migraines) so that's why we're looking for non-dairy, non-red-wine
possets and caudles.)

As I posted in answer to Johnna, I'm afraid that whiskey (and coffee,
though to a lesser extent) pushes my "out of period" buttons and I wouldn't be
comfortable doing them at an event.  But it certainly does sound tasty :)

Yours,
