It’s always nice to see Madge as well, you do have lovely pets Claire, the drinks all sound delicious particularly the syllabub, that sounds very refreshing and perfect for a summers day, lambswool is an odd name for a drink no one would ever guess that was a Tudor festive tipple, I think Hippocras must have tasted nice rather like the mulled wine we have today, and spices and herbs were added, we know the Tudors were fond of herbs and spices it was drunk warm at special occasions and not just at Christmas, and must have been lovely after a cold day of travelling for the weary visitor.
