It is possible to make delicious herbal wines to use as tonics, digestive aids or after a stressful day. If you want your wines to last for a long time choose a full-bodied wine. For a light mellow wine to be used as a good tonic a good Muscat will blend well with herbs.

The following herbal wine can be drunk as a pick-me-up after a cold or just because it tastes good. Place fresh herbs one at a time into a mortar and pound them gently four or five times but DO NOT mass them.

Prepare the mixture in to a very clean glass jug.

2 cups Muscat wine

1 teaspoons Sage

1 teaspoon Rosemary

1 teaspoon Thyme

2 teaspoons Aniseed

5 whole Cloves

4 cm Cinnamon stick

3 cm Ginger root

1 lemon peel pared and sliced.

Put the herbs and spices in the wine bottle, and top up with the wine. Cork the bottle and store into a dark cool place for 10 days. Strain and filter. Poor back into the bottle and leave for 30 days before use.
