Did you know that gin was first created as an anti-malarial? Or
that Buckfast Tonic Wine was created by Benedictine monks as a
cure-all? Whilst alcohol is today best known for its intoxicating
properties, in the past it was prized for its ability to extract
and preserve the active elements from herbs. In fact, many of our
favourite drinks were originally created for medicinal purposes.
Herbal Elixirs is a detailed guide to the process of creating your
own herb-based alcoholic drinks and an exploration of the rich
history of similar drinks across Europe. Topics covered include:
the history of herbal drinks in Europe; how to make your own
tinctures, infusions and decoctions; the art of distillation: how
to make alcohol and use a still; botanical information for
identifying and using plants; recipes for restorative herbal
drinks, and finally, a seasonal guide to foraging in the UK.
Drawing on both natural and scientific research, this fascinating
book will reacquaint you with this tradition, offering detailed
explanations of the processes involved and sharing the skills to
design and make your own herbal elixirs.
