Sweet Gale
|
Excellent for holiday beers, very very fragrant. One of our favorite spices. Also called "Bog Myrtle" (Myrica Gale) and "Badge of the Campbells," Sweet Gale is a deciduous shrub with fragrant wood and leaves found abundantly in the Northern Hemisphere especially on the Scottish moors and bogs. It has been used as a substitute for hops in Yorkshire in a beer named appropriately, "Gale Beer." The seeds and leaves have also been used in soups and stews, perfumes and candles. This is not surprising since it is in the same family as bayberry, which is a popular candle scent. Used as a tea infusion it has been known to ease stomach disorders. This relatively unknown herb is well suited fro Holiday Beers. Follow you recipes and do not add too much of this spice. It is Very Very Strong. You will want to smell this one as you add it to your pot its smell is fantastic.
