| Coriander Seed |
Ancient Egyptian and Sanskrit texts document the use of coriander
for more than 3,000 years. The Chinese once believed the herb conferred
immortality, and in the Middle Ages it was put into love potions as
an aphrodisiac. Coriander is now widely used in specialty and Belgian
style beers. |
1 oz |
$1.99 |
|
| Juniper Berry |
Usually known as the principal flavoring in gin, it is also used
to flavor wine, beer, mead and other beverages. Native Americans used
juniper for its healing powers and to relieve arthritis. In folklore,
juniper planted outside a front door kept out witches who had to correctly
count its needles before entering the house. |
1 oz |
$2.99 |
|
| Sweet Orange Peel |
While a cousin to the Florida orange, this sweet variety will not
give your beer a metallic taste like the domestic version. If you’re
familiar with the taste of Cointreau or Grand Marnier then you will
be thrilled with the flavor that sweet orange peel can add to your
Belgian style strong ales and special holiday brews. |
1 oz |
$3.29 |
|
| Bitter Orange Peel |
Also called “Curacao orange peel,” these green-gray peels are one
of the most popular specialty herbs on the market. They are used commercially
by domestic brewers to duplicate the beer styles that put Belgium
on the brewing map. While not very bitter, they are a key ingredient
in Belgian style white beers. |
1 oz |
$2.75 |
|
| Ginger Root |
Probably the most widely used herb for Holiday beer, the rhizome
grows in the tropics and was brought by conquistadors to the New World
via Jamaica. |
1 oz |
$2.50 |
|
| Licorice Root |
Do not confuse the flavor of licorice with that of anise oil, which
is not related to licorice at all and is a poor imitation. Licorice
has been used for everything from cough remedies to ulcer cures. The
root imparts a very characteristic flavor and is surprisingly sweet.
It contains glycyrrhizin, a substance 50 times sweeter than sugar,
and is often added to chocolate to enhance sweetness. |
1 oz |
$2.99 |
|
| Indian Sarsaparilla |
This herb takes its name from the Spanish “saran,” meaning a bramble,
and “parilla,” a vine. It is a misconception that sarsaparilla is
the primary flavor of the beverage bearing its name. Refreshing sarsaparilla
is made from a root beer type base to which has been added several
roots and herbs. The sarsaparilla herb was originally added to beverages
to help improve mouth feel and head retention, but mainly for its
medicinal properties as an agent to cure mouth sores, rheumatism and
dropsy. |
1 oz |
$3.99 |
|
| Cardamom Seed |
Cardamom is a distinctive spice from the same family
as ginger. Its flavor, which has been described as a “spicy cola,”
combines well with coriander, cumin and orange, and often all are
used together in specialty Belgian and Holiday style beers. |
1 oz |
$4.50 |
|
| Paradise Seed |
Also called “Grains of Paradise,” “Guinea grains” and “Melegueta
pepper,” these small seeds look like cardamom but have a character
all their own. The spice is native to West Africa and during medieval
times was used to flavor food. It has also been used as a pepper substitute.
While it does have a peppery zing, it also has notes of citrus and
an “earthy” pine aroma. |

|
| Sweet Gale |
Also called “Bog Myrtle” 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 for Holiday beers. |

|
| Rose Hips |
Used in wines, teas, specialty beers and confections, rose hips
are a versatile fruit/herb. Rich in vitamin C, the rose hip shells
with the seeds removed are the best type to use for wine as the seeds
can add undesirable tannins. |
3 oz |
$4.25 |
|
| Wintergreen Leaves |
While many people confuse wintergreen with mint, they are not related
in any way. Wintergreen has long been used as an herbal remedy for
arthritis, swollen joints and sore muscles. It goes by many names:
teaberry, checkerberry, dearberry, spiceberry, boxberry, and even
tea party. The latter refers to its use during the American Revolution
as a substitute for heavily taxed British tea. |
1 oz |
$2.99 |
|
| Dried Elderberries |
Native to the British Isles, the small dark colored elderberry makes
an excellent “port” style wine. The appearance of berries on the bushes
is said to have signaled farmers when to sow their wheat. The berries
are also reputed to have been used to make one of the first black
hair dyes in ancient Greece. |
4 oz |
$4.99 |
|
| Dried Wormwood |
The principal ingredient in the legendary liqueur Absinthe, wormwood
use dates back to before 1600 BC. While used historically as a beverage
ingredient, the FDA advises against the internal use of wormwood due
to the substance thujone. Though wormwood is still used in the production
of vermouth and Campari, it is a variety other than artemisia absinthium. |
1 oz |
$3.99 |
|
| Sweet Woodruff |
Woodruff was one of the essential garlands hung in medieval European
churches in preparation for holidays. The distinctive scent of fresh-cut
hay and vanilla gives an exhilarating flavor to wines, punches and
beer. Woodruff is considered by the FDA to be safe for use in alcoholic
beverages but caution is advised for other internal uses. |
1 oz |
$3.59 |
|
| Dried Mugwort |
Mugwort was used in the Middle Ages to ward off evil possession
and was a popular stuffing for roast goose. As the name implies, it
was traditionally used in mugs of beer before the popularity of hops.
Europeans frequently stuffed pillows with mugwort (and hops) to bring
good and vivid dreams. |
1 oz |
$2.99 |
|
| Heather Tips |
It is both the flowers and the greenery of this wonderful herb which
impart a pleasing aroma and smooth bitterness to beers. It is especially
appropriate for a Scotch ale known as Fraoch. With a flavor similar
to a subtle chamomile/mint blend with a hint of lavender, heather
pairs well with honey. It’s also great for tea, with reputed calming
qualities. |
2 oz |
