Summer Savory Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis) is an aromatic annual of the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus and grown as a culinary herb across Europe and North America, notably in Atlantic Canada. It forms a bushy plant 20 to 40 cm tall with slender, often purplish, finely hairy stems and small, narrow, grey-green leaves that release a warm, peppery, thyme-like scent. Tiny pale lilac to white flowers appear in the leaf axils through summer. It is the classic seasoning for beans in Germany. We extract the dried leaf.
