Ypocras Spice Mix for Wine: Make up two delicious bottles of delicious mulled spiced wine, using this authentic 14th century spice mix. This is the perfect mulled wine for your Christmas festivities.

Ypocras Milk Chocolate Bar: We have taken the 14th century Ypocras spice mix, and combined it with milk chocolate to create a fantastic and exotic spiced chocolate bar.

Ypocras Hot Chocolate: The inevitable result of the run away success of our Ypocras chocolate bar was to create a Hot Chocolate using the Ypocras spice mix. What better way could there be than to start a Christmas morning than with this spiced hot chocolate?

The name Ypocras, also written as Hypocras, refers to Hippocrates, who is credited with inventing a sieve used for filtering spices from drinks. This Ypocras recipe comes from the 14th century collection of recipes, The Forme of Cury, written in the 1390s. Ypocras, is mentioned by Chaucer in both the Knight's Tale and the Merchant's Tale: “He drynketh ypocras, clarree, and vernage, Of spices hoote, t'encreessen his corage;” (Canterbury Tales).

PLEASE NOTE: This gift set will be despatched unassembled with a cellophane bag, ribbon and gift tag included, to avoid creases to the packaging in transit, and to allow the Ypocras products to be packed securely.
