Sake came from a grain of rice. Scotch came from barley, tequila came from agave, rum came from sugar cane, and bourbon came from corn. Want to know more? In "Hop Botany," Amy Stewart explores the staggering number of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and mushrooms that humans in their ingenuity, inspiration, or desperation have managed to turn into alcoholic beverages over the centuries.
Of all these thousands of plants that have ever been distilled and fermented to make alcohol, many are simply dangerous, some are as strange and ancient as dinosaurs; but each represents a unique cultural contribution to the global drinking traditions of human history. An elegant cocktail of biology, chemistry, history, and etymology that includes many interesting historical facts and more than fifty recipes for original alcoholic beverages, this book will not only help you pass the time, but will make you a welcome guest at any party.
