A Venerable Drinke

Dandelion and Burdock! It may taste like it was tapped from Satan's own driptray, but it's certainly been around for a long time. Evidence suggests that it has been drunk in Britain since 1265, and there is even an improbable story that it was invented by 13th-century philosopher Thomas Aquinas.

It is said that after having a cheeky pray one day, Tom wandered outside and, seized with a bit of a thirst, made a drink out of the first things he found - as a proof that "God would provide." Good job he didn't stumble across a pile of horseshit and some nettles eh?
