HYPOCRAS

This is a mixture of spiced grape wine and honey. The Greeks were very fond of these wines, probably because their own grape wines were often of poor quality and were made more palatable by the addition of spices and honey.

Use the Metheglin recipe, but use 2 Ib. of honey and 2 Ib. of raisins instead of 3 1/2 Ib, honey and 1/2 Ib. sugar.
