Exploring the possibilities of gruit. I found a list of plants which contain... something. Plants on this list could possibly have strange effects when combined with alcohol.

I'm just having a good time as a Wikipedia nerd. I've found traces of ancient herbal knowledge. There are hints that of European shamanism. Right now I am focusing on Elecampane and Burdock.
I don't like alcohol, but I might be curious enough to try a mixture of Inula, Arctium, Artemisia and alcohol. Alcohol is a poison, but a very small amount might be safe. Readers, if you are out there, please don't hurt yourselves. I think I will have a drop in a shot glass for my birthday, just one. But first, I'll do a great deal more research about hedgerow mead.
