Dear Sir,
We are having considerable trouble locating or finding out anything about an
" ale plant." Suffice to say we are unsure as to the correct spelling of the
name but we know that it has a yellow flower that is kept in a jar and is
fed on brow sugar and water. It was used for centuries as a cure for
hangovers. I am reliably informed that the plant would grow in the jar. It
was also very common in Ireland hence why the good cure for hangovers. The
plant also cured the thirst in the summers.
If you have any ideas I would be very grateful if you could pass them on,
and if not, well thank you for your time.
Yours

Hi Colin,

It's Kombucha that you're looking for!
