[Sca-cooks] Help! hot beverage problem

[Joel Lord]

I've seen a bunch of replies here that have mostly tended toward 
maintaining period-ness in beverage and/or presentation.  Do these 
matter to you?  Would having a 10 gallon pot of water over a propane 
burner like brewers often use fit your requirements?  Or do you want to 
put that 10 gallon pot on a wood fire?  (Soap the ever-loving heck out 
of the outside of that pot first...)

I've done sbiten as a pre-made concentrate (not quite a syrup, too much 
particulate spices) and had a large pot of water over a jet engine with 
a ladle for serving.  Don't put that sort of pre-mix in to a small 
mouthed jug, though, it's really hard to get back out.  But a few Tbl of 
concentrate and fill with water is easy and allows for a variety of 
beverages with only a single heat source.
