How about Hypocras ingredients, accompanied by a bottle of wine and directions?  

Sekanjabin Syrup (shudder)

Almond Milk (the busy medieval cook will appreciate having a pre-made supply on hand the next time
a recipe calls for it)

A period Mustard (such as that from Le Menagier de Paris)

Nucato (Spiced Honey Nut Crunch)

Anyway, just some suggestions...
