From earliest times, love potions were considered essential to help nature along. They were often brewed with herbs, spices and other ingredients that some people still consider aphrodisiacs -- ginger, coriander, lemons, onions, garlic, chilies, honey, milk and eggs. I have included a love potion to serve before dinner to put you in the mood.
