TWENTY HERBS, A RELAXING ELIXIR
In the Middle Ages, herbal bitters were mainly produced in monasteries, where monks developed recipes using aromatic and medicinal plants. Matteo Villani described these beverages in the 13th century, mentioning combinations of alcohol and herbs like rosemary and mint. Used as digestives, these bitters were served at noble banquets. An interesting anecdote is that in the 15th century, the Swiss alchemist Paracelsus (1493-1541) mentioned the use of herbs in liquors in his treatise "De Natura Rerum," highlighting the importance of science in utilizing plants for health preparations. Today, many historical recipes have been adapted and are still enjoyed.
