Boil the sage and lemon rind in 3 cups of water for about 30 minutes. Strain. Add sugar, lemon juice to taste, and wine. Bring to a boil. Put the cinnamon stick in a soup tureen and pour soup over. Serve in cups.
Note: This is a spiced drink as much as a soup, from Gyula Vasvary, master chef of the 1820's.
