The linden tree

What are the benefits of linden in infusions?

Impressive in its size, the linden tree is also impressive in the extent of its traditional uses.

Sleep , stress , anxiety, digestion, elimination , headaches, colds , aches and pains: this XXL tree is used on almost every front in the medicines of yesteryear!

It is the sapwood, the part between the bark and the trunk of the tree, but especially its flowers and bracts, which interest herbalists.

It's hard to imagine that this tree, which we often see along the roadside, in parks, fields and gardens, is capable of such great things.

And good news for the marmots , the linden tree is suitable for the whole family.

What linden is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

With its imposing build, its large, light green, heart-shaped deciduous leaves and its regular yellow flowers, the lime tree is easily recognizable.

At the burrow, it's the bracts that interest us, that is, the leaf-shaped part of the flower. From the beginning of summer, our master brewers are on the alert: it is indeed at this time that the precious flowers attached to their bracts are harvested.

Since bees have a taste for it, they also tend to flock to it to get the nectar (and maybe they also benefit from the benefits of linden flowers... who knows?).

In which recipes do our master infusers use Linden?

Linden deserved its place in several of our recipes!

In a trio, in our Mint-Linden-Verbena infusion, it once again tickles our taste buds with its delicately floral and sweet flavor.
