When was Liqueur d'Herbes created?

Herbal liqueur has a very long tradition. It is not known exactly when it was first drunk, but you can tell that it was drunk by aristocrats and commoners alike. Herbal liqueur is known for its health benefits, so much so that it was used as a healing remedy. In fact, it was not until recently, in the 20th century, that it was still used in Spain.

Do you know who else knew about herbal liqueur? Hippocrates himself. Yes yes, you know, the one known as the founder of science and medicine. He was a famous physician who lived in the 5th century BC, and used herbal liqueur as a medicine to relieve pain, and even as a treatment for some diseases. Likewise, when it appeared again in the Middle Ages, it was used for the same purpose thanks to the plants used.

The Romans also drank herbal liqueur, but as is to be expected, the drink varied from period to period. What is known for certain is that, starting from a common base and making changes by trial and error, the current herbal liqueur was invented at some point.

 

How it is made

Herbal liqueur is generally a very simple drink to make. It is basically the maceration or infusion of selected herbs in eau-de-vie, i.e. the pure result of fermentation and distillation of cereals, fruits, etc. The alcohol in which the chosen herbs are macerated must have a gradation of between 25 and 50% alcoholic volume, thus ensuring that the herbs are better preserved, maintaining all their properties.

 

How to serve it

Well, the first thing to do is to keep the bottle of herbal liqueur in a cool place out of the sun, as this could affect the product. If kept well, these liqueurs last a long time in good condition.

Now that we have our bottle, to enjoy it as it deserves, in its fullness, it should be served at a temperature of between 5 and 12 ºC. This is because if we drink it too cold we will lose aromas and flavours typical of this type of liqueur that are worth enjoying. On the other hand, if we drink it too hot, it will be quite strong and we will not enjoy it to the full.

As for the glass in which to serve it, the truth is that there is not much to say, as it will depend on the tastes of each person. However, it is usually served in a low glass or shot glass. Take it as you like it, as you know that there is nothing written about tastes.

 

As a curiosity, it has always been popularly said that drinking it in moderation is beneficial for your health.

It is common to drink it after large meals because it is said to have digestive qualities thanks to the fact that it dilates the blood vessels in the stomach, thus favouring digestion.

Now that you know about it, all you have to do is choose the one you like best, because who doesn't like an herbal liqueur after a meal?
