Posset - An Ancient Remedy For Modern Times
Posset (also historically spelled poshote, poshotte) is an ancient Celtic drink made of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was often used as a remedy for a cold or to help falling asleep.
Rosemary has long been used as a memory aid. It has a tonic effect on the nervous system and is good for circulation. It strengthens the heart and reduces high blood pressure.
This recipe is dairy and gluten free but if you prefer, use milk (always use the unpasteurized, raw whole fat organic version - a lot to remember, right?) and normal beer (organic as well, in case you wondered).
