Rufus\\n[quote]I use 1 cup of red wine and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar per gallon. Tried allot of different variants first and arrived on that mixture due to personal preference, which I bet played allot into how you mixed it back in the day.
I just wanted to say "thanks" for the recipe, used twice now with good success. Our legion was at a timeline event a few weeks ago, and a jug of posca was our contribution to the period food feast. It was a big hit with the other reenactors. I labelled it "Roman Gatorade" for PR purposes...and it seemed to work. One more (small) victory for Roman ingenuity.
