They and the Romans supposed that it came from Southern Arabia. ' Ginger was taxed by the Romans in the second century, and it is mentioned so often during the Middle Ages that it must have constituted an important item of commerce between Europe and the East. It is mentioned in the tariff of duties levied in Palestine in 1173. Ginger was a well-known specific in Britain in ancient days, being often referred to in Anglo-Saxon leech-books of the 11th century. Ginger was widely used during the Middle Ages as a stimulant and stomachic. Today it has many uses, such as a flavour for Pure Beverages, and in medicine. Ginger Ale has long been a favourite beverage in all parts of the civilized world. In Switzerland it is customary for the host to present his guests with a bottle of Ginger Ale on their arrival as a symbol of welcome. In New Zealand a well-flavoured, full-bodied dry Ginger Ale, such as Thomsons’, is appreciated and sought after as a refreshing beverage as well as a mixer and blender.
