A Delicate Herb with Deep Roots in Tradition
Hawthorn Flower has been used for centuries across Europe and other parts of the world, particularly in folk and monastic traditions. Historically, it was a staple in seasonal infusions, believed to mark the arrival of spring and early summer. Monks and herbalists often gathered the blossoms during their peak flowering time to prepare light, fragrant teas and tonics. It was commonly combined with other blossoms or green herbs to create comforting herbal drinks served during communal gatherings or quiet moments of reflection. Hawthorn Flower was also used in ritual baths and as an ingredient in natural remedies passed down through generations.
Today, it remains a valued ingredient among those who appreciate natural flavours and time-tested ingredients. Whether prepared as a simple infusion or incorporated into a layered blend, it brings subtle fragrance and gentle character to every cup.
How To Use Hawthorn Flower?
This herb can be prepared in several ways depending on your flavour preferences and desired strength. The loose dried flowers are easy to measure and brew using standard herbal infusion methods.
Simple Floral Infusion
Use 1 to 2 teaspoons of Hawthorn Flower per 200 ml of hot water
Pour freshly boiled water over the flowers
Cover and let steep for 5–15 minutes
Strain and enjoy warm, or let cool for a refreshing iced version
This method highlights the soft floral quality of the blossoms and is perfect for daily enjoyment.
Slow Simmer Decoction
Combine 2 teaspoons of dried flowers with 250 ml of cold water
Bring to a gentle simmer on low heat
Simmer for 10–15 minutes
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for a few minutes before straining
This process draws out more of the herb’s subtle earthy depth, resulting in a slightly fuller flavour and darker hue.
