Piccolo seeds for the contemporary garden. Rue, also called herb of grace, is an old-fashioned garden plant, but a well-known medicinal and culinary herb used in ancient times throughout the Mediterranean. Both the Greeks and Romans used it to cure countless conditions, as well as in several magic rituals. During the Middle Ages, it was touted for improving eyesight, overall health and creativity, and as an aphrodisiac. 

 Wash and dry some sprigs and put them in a bottle of grappa. Leave them to infuse for at least two months until the alcohol gradually absorbs the rue’s aroma and colour, then enjoy a bicchierino (small glass) or two after a substantial meal.
