  Hypocras

  
  History of the recipe Hypocras is attributed to the famous Greek doctor Hippocrates (fifth century BC.). Much later the Knights were conquered by the real "magic potion" and brought back the recipe of Hypocras to the West. On account of its pleasant savours and tonic virtues-and even aphrodisiac one (so they said) Hyppocras (Ypocras) became the fashionable drink of the Middle Ages. Hypocras will be tasted cool, whitout ice for the white one, the red one will accompany cooked dishes (Gésiers de canard à l'hypocras, duck with fruits) medieval potted meat, and as wine for the cakes.
