LEMON THYME 

Thymus citriodorus, commonly known as Lemon Thyme, originated in southern Europe and northern Africa, but the Romans are credited with its spread. It has been regarded since Ancient Greek times as a symbol of bravery, as well as an expectorant and pleasantly aromatic herb.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Lemon Thyme can help strengthen your immune system and promote good health. Its anti-inflammatory and decongestant qualities suggest an infusion of Lemon Thyme can also help ease your respiratory tract and soothe a pesky cough.

HOW TO PREPARE

Combine 2 tablespoons of Lemon Thyme leaves with 1 litre of 85°C water in your vessel of choice (tea strainer, tea pot, or even right into the mug). Let the leaves steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

CULINARY USE

Lemon Thyme is a versatile herb that can complement your favourite dishes. It is a great replacement for lemon juice or zest, adding a pleasant lemon flavour to poultry, seafood, or roasted vegetables. Try adding it to soup, stuffing, or even baked goods.
