<<< Did you know that sekunjabin was Persian?? Come to our Baronial  
Birthday and enter your finest Persian sekunjabin.>>>

Did you know that even if you start with Cariadoc's "standard" recipe  
for Sekunjabin, that you can get quite a variation in taste depending  
upon whether you use cane sugar or honey, what type of vinegar you  
use, what type of mint you use etc.

For some discussion on this, as well as other variations on Sekanjabin  
and similar beverages (I don't know if your recipe must be based on  
Master Cariadoc's particular recipe or redaction, or not). see this  
file in the BEVERAGES section of the Florilegium:
jalabs-msg (94K) 4/22/08 Drinks with a sugar or honey-syrup base such  
as Sekanjabin (Persian Mint Drink).

Have fun! I remember and impromptu Sekanjaban tasting after a class at  
Pennsic. You can get widely varying tastes using just the usual  
Sekanjaban recipe.
