Linden Blossom

Linden blossom refers to the dried or fresh flowers of the linden tree (Tilia), used for centuries in herbal medicine and cooking. They have a delicately sweet, honey-like fragrance and a gently aromatic flavour. Most commonly, they are brewed into a soothing tea, popular for relieving cold symptoms and calming the mind. In the kitchen, linden blossoms work wonderfully as an ingredient in syrups, lemonades, desserts and baked goods, lending them a pleasant floral note. They also pair beautifully with honey, flavoured sugars and dairy-based dishes. The harvest season typically falls in June and July, when the flowers are in full bloom.
