1 level tablespoon ground ginger
1 level tablespoon finely chopped galangal
1 level teaspoon freshly and roughly ground cardamom
1 level teaspoon grated mace
1 level teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 sprig rosemary
6 ounces sugar
3 bottles plain red wine
2 wine glasses brandy
Directions:
1. Allow the spices and sugar to infuse in the wine and brandy for 24 hours. Strain through a coffee filter and serve. The traditional Tudor accompaniment to hypocras were wafers.
