Its narrow, aromatic leaves and spikes of deep blue-violet flowers have made it a favourite of cottage gardens – and of bees – for centuries. Our Hyssop is carefully dried to keep its colour and aroma, then packed by hand in the UK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📜 A Little History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name comes from the ancient Greek \u003cem\u003ehyssopos\u003c\/em\u003e, and the plant was well known to the Greeks and Romans. In medieval Europe Hyssop grew in monastery and physic gardens, was clipped into low hedges in knot gardens, and was used as a fragrant strewing herb, scattered across floors to freshen homes and halls. Its bold, aromatic flavour later found its way into the kitchen, into herbal teas, and into some of Europe's best-known herbal liqueurs, including Chartreuse and absinthe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🍵 Hyssop Tea Recipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Hyssop Tea (1 cup)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 teaspoon dried Hyssop (about 1g)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e250ml freshly boiled water, left to cool for a minute\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlace the Hyssop in a tea strainer or infuser.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePour over the hot water, cover, and steep for 5–7 minutes.
