Gin is an alcoholic (含酒精的) drink. It gets its taste mainly from fruits and flowers. Indlovu Gin comes from South Africa. It is made using elephant dung (粪).

Les and Paula Ansley make Indlovu. Indlovu means “elephant” in the Zulu language. They came up with the idea a couple of years ago. They went on safari (游猎) to see African animals. On safari, they learned that elephants eat many fruits and flowers. But they digest less than 33% of their food. The rest comes out in their dung. “Because of that, elephant dung has a great mix of plants and flowers,” Les said.

Weeks after their trip, Paula, a gin lover, had a strange idea in the middle of the night. “Why don’t we let others do the hard work of collecting?” she said to her husband. “And we will make gin from it.”

The couple tried to get some dung from the park where they went on safari. It was sent in the mail. Now they collect the dung themselves, using their hands. The dung is dried and washed. Next, the Ansleys use a process to kill germs (细菌). It is then dried again and soaked (浸泡) in gin.

“The gin tastes good,” the Ansleys said. They mark the bottles with the date and place where the dung was collected. They said the taste changes with the place and season.

At first, people didn’t want to taste the gin. But now the drink is popular with tourists who want to bring home a strange gift. The gin is sold at hunting camps, airports and online.
