Organic non-alcoholic aperitif concentrate with lemon balm, mint, ginger, and lemon – to be diluted with water.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSasse Wellpaero Ginger Lemon Balm\u003c\/strong\u003e is a non-alcoholic aperitif concentrate from the Sasse craft distillery in Schöppingen, Münsterland: lemon balm and mint from their own organic cultivation, plus ginger and lemon, 0.0% vol, 350 ml. This is not a drink to be consumed neat – it is a herbal infusion that you dilute with ten parts water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWellpaero Ginger Lemon Balm by Sasse\u003c\/strong\u003e is a concentrate, and that is the most important thing you should know about this bottle. 10 ml mixed with 100 ml of mineral water makes one glass, meaning the whole bottle yields around 35 glasses. The manufacturer calls it a non-alcoholic aperitif, i.e., a drink for the time before a meal. What distinguishes it from herbal lemonade is the bitterness, which has a firm place alongside sweetness and acidity. The base consists of freshly harvested herbs, lemons, ginger, and sugar. Rosemary, thyme, and lavender blossoms are added in small quantities. Imagine a late summer evening when you are still sitting outside after work: a carafe of water, a bowl of ice, a few sprigs of mint, and this bottle on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHerbal and fresh, with the heat of ginger and a tart edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWellpaero Ginger Lemon Balm tastes first of lemon and green herbs, then the ginger makes its presence felt with a mild heat. Lemon balm and mint provide the freshness, while rosemary, thyme, and lavender add a spicy depth in the background. Sasse describes the whole thing as a play between sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. In the glass, this means: round enough to be pleasant, tart enough to taste sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis balance only becomes apparent once diluted in the glass. Sugar is second on the list of ingredients, and it is the water that brings the herbs to the fore. You determine how strong your glass is by the amount of water you add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTen milliliters per hundred – how to mix the concentrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's recipe is simple: put three ice cubes in a glass, pour 10 ml of Wellpaero over them, and top up with 100 ml of mineral water. If you like, add a fresh mint leaf. With sparkling water, it becomes a zesty herbal spritzer; with still water, a softer drink. Instead of water, you can also use tonic water, which will make the drink significantly more bitter. For more bite, use slightly less water; for a light thirst-quencher, use a little more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an aperitif, the glass stands on the table before the meal. It is equally suitable for a terrace in the afternoon or as a companion when others are having a glass of wine. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepare a carafe for guests with 100 ml of Wellpaero to one liter of mineral water, plenty of ice, and a few sprigs of mint. That way, everyone can refill their own glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA herbal infusion from a Münsterland grain distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWellpaero comes from a distillery, and the process reflects that. During distillation, volatile components rise and are condensed back into liquid. According to the manufacturer, Wellpaero is the essence that remains in the still. This allows the bitter substances of the herbs to remain in the concentrate. The extraction process, during which the herbs release their flavor into the liquid, takes about a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Sasse, the herbs come from their own organic cultivation and are processed by hand while freshly harvested. The distillery omits preservatives, colorings, and added flavorings for its Wellpaero line. The concentrate is produced in Schöppingen by Lagerkorn GmbH, the company behind the Sasse craft distillery, which is otherwise known primarily for its aged Korn (grain spirit).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor herb enthusiasts, designated drivers, and the weekday aperitif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle is for anyone who likes to have something tart without alcohol in their glass before a meal. It is convenient for hosts because one bottle is enough for many glasses.
