Sweet Gale seeds

Post by Roger » Sun May 04, 2008 12:16 pm

There's another recipe in Pierre Rajotte's Belgian ales book I fancy a stab at. It's called Santa Claus's Magic Potion and requires 1g Nutmeg, no problem there, but also 1g Sweet Gale seeds, any idea where I might get them?
Sweet gale is also known as Bog Myrtle and with a name like that it's got to go in :D but if anyone can suggest an alternative to go with the Nutmeg I'm all ears.

I was looking at that recipe yesterday. Couldn't find them for the life of me. Please keep me informed. I'll do the same.

Okey doke Russ I'll let you know if I turn anything up, but I've searched the web with no results so far.
Alternatives are, finding some Bog Myrtle and harvesting the seeds and possibly poisoning myself or a suitable replacement.

Just out of interest have done any of the other recipes from the same book?

No. I only just received it in the post on Thursday. Looking forward to trying some though.

Any one out there got this Bog myrtle growing near them and willing to post myself and Roger some seeds? Will pay p&p.
Let us know :)
