To a quart of red wine, add an ounce of cinnamon and half an ounce of ginger; a quarter of an ounce of grains of paradise and long pepper, and half a pound of sugar. Bruise all this, not too small, and strain the wine through a cloth bag. Geezus, half a pound of sugar? Sounds like an early recipe for coca-cola.

Red wine and coke or dr pepper is pretty good. Especially to mitigate having opened the bottle yesterday.
The app was amazing. Type a few letters of some ingredients in the search bar and it filtered the list of drinks down to a subset, eg "ora bour". It even showed you what kind of glass to drink it in.

I hand-curated and rewrote most of the drink catalog, and that's where I learned about the Calimocho. The app was amazing.

It's sad that it's virtually impossible to find medieval food like this. All "medieval" restaurants (even in Europe) I know of either serve modern food in old digs, or random barbecue as a sideshow to jousting knights and whatnot.

Not trying to be difficult, but that font seems to have some historical implications we should rather not glorify.
