Inspired by the ancient elixirs, this is a DIY digestif that calls upon a lineage of forest-dwelling herbalists. Designed to settle and soothe the stomach, this cordial/liqueur celebrates the hearty resilience and deep herbal knowledge of rural communities. Traditionally, the wise women would blend local roots and bitter herbs, infusing them into alcohol as a daily tonic to strengthen digestion after hearty meals of wild game and fermented vegetable.
The initial bitter notes of Gentian and Caraway deepen into an earthy, slightly sweet blend, with undertones of Licorice from the Fennel and Anise. The lingering warmth from the Clove makes this cordial/liqueur perfect to sip slowly before and after a meal, bringing the warmth and comfort of the forest wisdom to your glass.
Designed for people craving some hands-on experience with plants, the DIY Digestive Cordial Kit contains vibrant, aromatic herbs in a stunning 150ml glass bottle with cork stopper, complete with full instructions so you can get hands-on experience with the herbs and put your knowledge into practice in your home kitchen.
Ingredients: Blended in custom proportions - Gentian root for bitterness and digestive stimulation, Birch Polypore for antibacterial and antifungal action, Fennel seeds and Caraway for calming the stomach and reducing bloating, Aniseed and Clove to provide warmth and a touch of sweetness.
