[Sca-cooks] what's a tisana?

[Ian Kusz]

It appears to be a soup, not a tisane.

[173] ANOTHER TISANA *TISANA TARICHA *[1]

THE CEREAL [2] IS SOAKED; CHICKPEAS, LENTILS AND PEAS ARE CRUSHED AND BOILED
WITH IT; WHEN WELL COOKED, ADD PLENTY OF OIL. NOW CUT GREEN HERBS, LEEKS,
CORIANDER, DILL, FENNEL, BEETS, MALLOWS, CABBAGE STRUNKS, ALL SOFT AND GREEN
AND FINELY CUT, AND PUT IN A POT. THE CABBAGE COOK [separately. Also] CRUSH
FENNEL SEED, ORIGANY, SYLPHIUM AND LOVAGE, AND WHEN CRUSHED, ADD BROTH TO
TASTE, POUR THIS OVER THE PORRIDGE, STIR IT TOGETHER AND USE SOME FINELY
CHOPPED CABBAGE STEMS TO SPRINKLE ON TOP [2].
