The intensity and the taste of Linden Basswood Honey is stronger than the color indicates. The rule of thumb is the darker the honey the stronger the flavor: this is not the case with Linden Basswood Honey. Right after harvest, Linden Honey is a greenish color; in time it becomes clear to yellow-amber.
This honey is traditionally used in folk medicine to speed along recovery of sore throats and colds. Use it in teas and nightcaps to ease the itchy throat that comes with wintertime illness. Linden Honey pairs well with citrus sorbet or gelato, greek yogurt, and herbal teas. It's the star ingredient of our flu-fighter martini and our Dr. Feelgood tea.
