Hippocras is a medieval spiced drink traditionally made with wine, but the Society for Creative Anachronism feast we attended served this non-alcoholic version of it. I imagine would be as delicious hot as it was cold! A yummy and unique alternative to iced tea or mulled cider. Ingredients:
1 quart apple juice |
1 cup honey |
1 teaspoon whole cloves |
1 inch piece fresh ginger |
1 -2 stick cinnamon |
1 medium rosemary sprig |
1/2 whole nutmeg, chunk |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a two quart saucepan.
2. Bring mixture to a boil.
3. Simmer mixture until it is reduced by half.
4. Strain mixture through fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove spice pieces. (Alternately, you might put all the spices into a cheesecloth or muslin spice bag at the start.).
5. Mix the resultant syrup with water, to taste.
