During my recent stay at the Brunton Boatyard in Cochin, I was gifted a fabulous recipe of Ginger Wine. (For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Boatyard, I highly recommend it.) The hotel serves this non-alcoholic beverage in their restaurant before dinner as a palate cleanser. The ginger aids in digestion and the cinnamon and cloves add an earthy flavor.
