Herbal spirits and fine brandies

Opinions may be divided about the usefulness of alcohol, but there will probably be a schnapps in every family – as an iron reserve, so to speak, for all eventualities. In many cases, the house schnapps is prepared according to an old tradition, and the recipe is not readily revealed. They want to claim credit for the special goodness of this medicine. Yet it is so simple, for nature’s garden offers many things that make the common schnapps tastier and healthier. Around one hundred recipes for making schnapps are listed in this book, which the interested reader can follow and add to and modify according to his or her own taste. Practical instructions make the work easier. Those who want to get an idea of the colourful realm of international spirits will find a detailed encyclopaedia in the appendix; those who are interested in the cultural history of alcohol will find everything worth knowing in the preface – from the primitive distilling art of the Orientals to the peasant liquor smuggling of days gone by.
