I think "jalab" is a post-1600 word. But it seemed to be the best word
to use in classifying these drinks, so that is what I've chosen to use.
jalabs-msg (71K) 7/ 3/04 Drinks with a sugar or honey-syrup
base such
as Sekanjabin (Persian Mint
Drink).
There are a number of original period recipes for these drinks given by
Master Cariadoc in messages in this file and probably more on his site
or in the Miscellany. I would love to see more redactions for these.
Sekanjabin is not the only one we could be making. Unfortunately, some
of them also have unusual ingredients. I'd also like to know what some
of these are and where folks could find them these days.
