Chartreuse Description
In 1605 , the Duke of Estrées entrusted the Carthusians with a manuscript containing a mysterious recipe composed of 130 plants capable of giving rise to an “Elixir of long life”. For more than a century and a half, the Carthusians developed this recipe which gave birth, thanks in particular to Brother Jérôme Maubec, to a definitive product established in 1764 called “Vegetable Elixir of the Grande Chartreuse”. It was quickly distributed as a care product to local populations, notably during the cholera crisis of 1832. Brother Charles was the first to market it on local markets, riding a donkey from the monastery. Since 1764, the recipe for the Elixir has remained unchanged.
It is a very effective digestive and tonic:
- Pure in a teaspoon
- In a herbal tea or toddy with honey and lemon
- A few drops on a piece of sugar, on a meringue
- In a cup of water in case of fatigue, discomfort or indisposition
- A few drops in a cocktail to add a herbaceous note
