Why "goutweed royal"?

In German goutweed is called Giersch (pronounced "geersh").

Because Giersch and Kir sound similar, I call the champagne version Giersch royal in reference to the original Kir royal.

Any idea what to call the goutweed lemonade with alcohol so that it sounds similar to goutweed? Please do not hesitate to tell me!

Each recipe is accompanied by tips from the hobby chef and the naturopathic doctor. Furthermore icons are assigned to each recipe, describing which of the 5 elements of Chinese Medicine the respective recipe corresponds to, what temperature effect it has, whether it has an anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory effect.

The 7th edition has been completely revised, with new recipes and now also the topic of anti-inflammatory foods (e.g. rheumatism, endometriosis, post-Covid, etc.), and time-saving tips.
