Alpine Hawthorn Flower and Leaf
Seasonal dried herb | Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)
Grown on our Snowy Mountains property in NSW, our hawthorn flowers and leaves are harvested around flowering time, then carefully dried and packed in small batches. This product contains the flower and leaf, not the berries.
Seasonal availability: Our Hawthorn Flower and Leaf is a seasonal, limited-harvest product, available only after this season’s flowers and leaves have been harvested, dried and packed. It may sell out between harvests.
Traditional Herbal Infusion
Hawthorn flower and leaf are traditionally prepared as a herbal infusion rather than the longer-simmered decoction used for berries. Steep approximately 1–2 teaspoons of dried flower and leaf in a cup of hot water for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Adjust to preference.
