Hawthorn

UNIQUE. BOLD. NORDIC.

Description

Hawthorn is a popular herb throughout the world, especially in Asia. It was often used as a substitute for green tea. There are dozens of varieties, some of which grow in Quebec.

What do hawthorn leaves taste like?

A delicate and slightly sweet flavour, with notes of fresh-cut grass reminiscent of Japanese green tea and its subtle marine touch. A fine astringency complements this harmony at the finish.

It is one of the basic ingredients in our Thuya & Lavender infusion.

 How to Use It?

Dried hawthorn leaves are commonly used in infusions for their beneficial properties, especially for heart health and stress management. Here are some ways to use them:

Infusion:
The most common way to use dried hawthorn leaves is to make an infusion. To do this, heat water and pour it over 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried leaves. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain. You can drink this infusion to promote relaxation and improve heart health.

Relaxation Remedy:
Hawthorn infusion can be consumed in the evening before bed to ease tension and promote restful sleep. It is perfect for times of stress or mild anxiety.

Steam Bath:
Use dried hawthorn leaves for a soothing steam bath. Boil water with the leaves and let the steam escape into a quiet room to purify the air and create a relaxing atmosphere.
