In fairness, made this way it would have a distinctive flavor quite unlike
most versions.
Not a flavor I'd particularly like myself'; valerian tastes like soap to
me. And rue (I just checked to remind myself) tastes like some chemical you
wonder how got in your food.
But they were both popular enough with the Romans, so if you're looking
for that alternate-era experience, this version of hypocras would certainly
give you something more like that and less like, well, spiced wine.
