All the Trappist monks have some form of income, as they produce anything from bread, jams and preserves, eggs, book-binding, beer, cakes, candy, muesli, honey, chocolate, pasta, religious vesture, wine, jewellery and even caskets. A product that has become quite popular recently is a liqueur made from over 50 different plants. It is produced by the Trappist monks of Aiguebelle Abbey in France, founded in 1137. 19 monks produce ALEXION - a secret recipe that is alcohol-free and preservative-free. The plants which constitute it have very many properties including those of fortifying and reconstituting. It is recommended in times of fatigue, recovery or simply to enjoy its taste so inimitable.
