A linden tree in bloom is not only a wonderful sight, its flowers and leaves can also be used to make a great-tasting tea. As its name suggests, linden blossom tea consists mainly of the blossoms of the linden tree. But its bracts are also used here from time to time. The ingredients are harvested in summer, usually from June to August. Linden blossom tea has a long tradition in this country that goes back to the 18th century. Even then, the flowers of the linden tree were often used for a delicious tea infusion. A linden blossom tea has a gentle yet aromatic fragrance and a very mild, sweet and spicy taste. It tastes pure as well as refined with lemon and honey and is also very suitable as a cold drink on hot summer days. Since linden blossoms taste very pleasant and unobtrusive, they are often combined with other herbs.
