If it is for cocktails why not just blend fresh ginger with the spirit of your choice? Depending on the power of your blender/liquidiser you should be able to do 100 grams in a litre. Let it sit for a week, filter through a coffee filter, replace in the bottle and store until needed. It will be fine for a few decades…

The only caffeinated alcohol approved by (the Christian) God is Buckfast Tonic Wine, produced by the Buckfast Abbey monks since 1897.

I assumed they were malting it by germinating whole oat groats, which would take some days. The enzymes they refer to are those present in the germinating grain.

Almonds in California may be an ecological nightmare but growing anything intensively in semi-desert would be except for xerophytic crops. Spanish almonds are far more sustainable.

Quite a lot of old herbal remedies for fertility problems were just nutrient supplements. If you don’t have enough nutrients you might have trouble getting it up. Lettuce was regarded by the Romans as a marvellous aphrodisiac. Watercress was another.

Is it easy to meet up with other men for a bit of fun on Grynda?

The Hollywood Walk of Marketing has to be one of the tackiest things about Hollywood. However, if they are going to piss anyway why not replace Trump’s star with a pissoir?

Damn, got to change that old saying, then.

Not asses?

The charcoal will absorb the poison from the mushrooms - excellent pairing of ingredients.

Discontinuumed...

There are old mushroom hunters and bold mushroom hunters but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters.

Yeah, if I want potato soup I’ll make potato soup.

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is an edible succulent-leaved ground cover that has a very acidic flavour. Grows very quickly and abundantly from seed. The leaves of the Elephant tree (Portulacaria afra) can be used the same way and may be even more acidic.

Both Jamaican and Moroccan sea-fishing expeditions found that smoking cannabis improves their night vision for fishing in the dark. Maine is missing out on some simple fisherfolk enhancement.
