Seems to me we had a series of discussions on honey butter, which isn't
exactly what you were asking for. But I found this link
(http://www.katjaorlova.com/MedFoodHoneyButter.html) which mentions
Plat's 1609 book with this recipe: "Most Dainte Butter. This is done by
mixing a few dropps of the extracted oyle of sage, cinamon, nutmegs,
mace, etc. in the making vp of your butter: for oyle and butter will
incorporate and agree verie kindely and naturally together." On this
web page Dame Katja gives another version of Plat's recipe which calls
for sugar, etc. Perhaps your local person could get some ideas here.
