No sooner have you drunk a sip of this tea, than wonderful warmth starts to spread inside you. The tea tastes wonderfully sweet and flowery and is a wonderful accompaniment to fine desserts. Linden trees used to be known as love tree, and even today, many a love promises are engraved in their stem. In many places, trials were held under the village linden tree, which is why it is also known as court tree.

Yesterday, I hugged one of my girls who was serving as command central for the supply organization squad (I should hire her to rearrange my craft room), and then she said, “I’m hot and thirsty and my throat hurts and the boys took all the water bottles!” Guess what woke me about 3 a.m….
Doc Martin (our Martin, not the one on PBS) to the rescue! I had not yet tried this little sample of linden leaves and buds, but his handwritten prescription for colds and cruds was a cuppa, plus a teaspoon of honey. Done. I put the honey in before trying the leaves straight up, so I don’t have an accurate taste descriptor. For the moment, let’s call it “kind of like chamomile, but not.” At any rate, it’s gentle, sweet, and soothing the rawness. Between that and a backup squad of zinc lozenges, we may have dodged the bullet. Thank you!
A little bit of sore throat is never fun. What’s worse, it’s just a few days before my 2 weeks vacation starts. And on Saturday I need to be ready for wedding I am invited to.
Lime Flowers to the rescue.
Wonder where I caught it. My brother? AC? Train with sick students as yesterday a new school year started?
Train with students, I betcha. Everyone around here starts getting sick as soon as the schools hold their “teacher pep rallies” to start off the new school year and then the children just seem to pass things around after that.
Few germs are more potent than kid germs!
Feel better soon!
I hope you feel better in time for your vacation! I always worry about COVID on public transportation, but maybe you were lucky and just got a cold.
Martin, I hope this tea helps you! I found your review from 10 months ago and was kind of confused which caused me to consult Wikipedia: “Note that the tree species known in Britain as lime trees (Tilia sp.), called linden or basswood in other dialects of English, are broadleaf temperate plants unrelated to the citrus fruits.” Now I am left wondering which is the eponymous “lime“ that saved the British from scurvy!
TeaEarleGreyHot – I believe it is the citrus fruit lime that saved them scurvy! Vitamin C was the key.
Oh dear! I hope the lime flowers do extra double duty and ward off the cruds!
Your note made me giggle all the time I was reading it. I hope it helped you and apparently you like it enough. Never thought about “kind of like chamomile but not” descriptor, but love it!
I hope the tea helped and find the need to distinguish the TV Dr Martin from the real life quite amusing.
I’m doing a follow-up cup even as we speak. I might upgrade the description to “slightly bitter chamomile,” but the honey fixes that easily!
I am behind—our local PBS is airing the final Doc Martin season, but it’s at a time that isn’t handy for me. Yes, we still do a lot of appointment TV at our house. Remember the days when everybody watched the same show at the same time so you could talk about it the next day instead of having to compare “what season are you on?” notes?
