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 Colin Heyburn

Hi Colin,

It's Kombucha that you're looking for!

Remarkably similar to the ginger beer plant we used to have.

Just baker's yeast fed on ginger and sugar.

Cheers
