Orsini Family-owned Arabic and Persian alchemist texts contained several amazing recipes for cordials that were used at the famous Caffe Florian in Venice - where major luminaries of art and literature and culture were regular patrons. You can read about all of this here, and gain access to these remarkable recipes, which not only were used as teas and tisanes, but often used together with champagnes and liqueurs and spirits to intoxicate, and/or elevate the mood and in come cases even create mind altered states. This the actual source and origin of the backstory to 'the Name of the Rose' narrative, with the Arabic alchemists seeking to expand on known but highly secretive Persian magical inks.
