Directions
Any good light, white wine should go into the punch powl -- Sauterne, Moselle, or Rhine wine -- about a quart of it, and be stirred with ½ cup brandy. Add simple syrup to taste and toss in slices of pineapple, orange, lemon and a good handful of wild strawberries, the biggest you can find. Add a large chunk of ice and crown it all with white stars and leaves of sweet woodruff. In fact, it is of better flavor, if the latter soaks in the wine an hour or so before the fruit and ice are added. You may add a pint of cold champagne at the last minute to give sparkle. Not too sweet herb cookies or pound cake flavored with caraway or anise seeds are more suitable with a Maibowle than cheese and crackers.
This is the most elaborate recipe I have seen. Enjoy! Conrad Richter Richters Goodwood, ON L0C 1A0 Canada (100 page colour herb catalogue available)
