Linden Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Linden (Tilia x europaea), the common lime or linden, is a large deciduous tree of the mallow family, Malvaceae, a natural hybrid of small-leaved and large-leaved lime native to Europe and widely planted in streets and avenues. It reaches 30-40 m with heart-shaped, toothed leaves and, in early summer, hanging clusters of small, pale yellow, honey-scented flowers, each cluster attached to a pale, strap-like bract. The flowers taste sweet and mucilaginous, and bees produce a pale honey from them. We extract the dried leaf and flower.
