Hippocras

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 5 liters red wine (not too aged and strong, I use Grignolino)
  • 750 g sugar
  • 40 g ground cinnamon
  • 40 g ground ginger
  • 20 g ground galangal

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the dry ingredients into the wine, till most of the sugar dissolves.
  2. 2
    Let sit for 2 hours, stirring every now and then.
  3. 3
    Filter the wine, eliminating all the spices, several times, so as to obtain a clear liquid. I use a cloth towel bag to filter out most of the spice, and then pass the wine in a percolating filter, that works fine.
  4. 4
    Bottle and let sit in a cool place for at least a couple of days. Best after a month or two.
