Conditum paradoxum

The spicy wine, drunk by the ancient Romans, was also used for toasts in the former Ljubljana - Emona and in Žumberak – Samoborsko gorje. The famous Apicius wrote about it in the 4th or 5th century.

Heat 150 ml of wine and honey in a saucepan. Remove the foam while cooking. Repeat the process if necessary. (Apicius writes that the mixture needs to be boiled until the wine evaporates slightly).

Remove from heat and add all the spices while it is still hot. Remove the stone from the dates, roast them and then add the mashed dates into the wine. When the mixture is cooled, add the remaining wine. Stew before serving. Serve it cold.
