      "Crafted from a secret Evermeet recipe and aged for hundreds of years, a sip of this splendid elven concoction is \"a taste of the higher planes themselves.\" Superlatives aside, in the culinary realm, it is undeniably the beverage by which all others are measured. Smooth and aromatic, this extraordinary elixir blankets the palate with powerful notes of clover honey and a mélange of elven fruits and grains that are so rare they don't even have a name in the common language. Rumored to use ingredients and techniques similar to feywine, this pricey draught is only available on the Isle of Evermeet in the Trackless Sea west of Faerûn or in Aurora's Catalogue by hand keg or bottle. If you ever are lucky enough to try the original, make sure to drink slowly—it can just as quickly intoxicate as inspire. This recipe, though, is crafted sans alcohol to preserve your better judgment."

    "In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the cinnamon sticks and cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the water (it may sputter) and ginger, adjust the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the honey, jam, and a tiny pinch of salt and return to a simmer, whisking to dissolve the honey and jam. Adjust the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer to blend the flavors, about 20 minutes. Cover the pot completely, remove it from the heat, and let steep for 20 minutes more. Strain the mixture into a bowl or other container. Serve warm, at room temperature, or lightly chilled."
