[Sca-cooks] Krupnik?

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Mistress Warjna was Lady Warjna when I met her (and this drink), and THLady
Aethethryth tells me they found this recipe from an old Culinary Institute
of America publication (gasp!  a CIA recipe! Well, I still like it anyhow
;).  The big difference as it was given to me (the fellow's name was
Bamchut, btw), is the boiling time- his version had you boiling the honey
and spices several times (5 comes to mind) and cooling in between each one.
Reduces the honey and really gets the flavors imbued.
Ah, memories.  :)

Anyway, recipe follows.  This same recipe appears many times, but this
particular one cited the SCA and names some SCA names, so that's what I
forwarded.
