The place is now actually a health food/herbalist store selling all sorts of stuff, but the main draw for us is the drinks.
"Sarsparilla", "Dandelion & Burdock" or "Black Beer" (not really a beer).
These come as very concentrated essences - you add your own boiling water and a ton of sugar to make up a cordial that you then bottle and further dilute to drink.
Not cheap at first glance - £3.50 for a small jar. But like I said, you dilute this a lot and you end up with maybe a gallon of drink (that's 4.54L to our foreign friends) (or 7 pints to the yanks)
