The name reflects the legend that an angel revealed the medicinal virtues to a monk during a time of plague. Often used today to flavour liqueurs, the strong hollow main stems can be used to make a flute like instrument as a child’s toy, but it is best known for its crystallized stalks, used as a cake decoration.
