NOTES : Drink from the healer's sleeve! As legend would have it, this
beverage was once filtered through the "sleeve of Hippocrates," the
17th-century term for a conical filter that's made of linen, cotton, or
wool. Hippocrates was the famed Greek physician who probably observed that
the more you drink, the less you speak, and, so over time (or many
goblets), Hippocrates becomes "Ipocras." Inexpensive wine with the screw-on
cap is best for this sweet drink. Recipe can be doubled by starting with a
3-liter bottle, removing 1 cup of wine, and doubling the remaining
ingredients.
