Dried hawthorn are dried red or dark red hawthorn fruits, whole, halved or sliced, with a sweet-sour, slightly astringent mealy taste. They are brewed into herbal teas and compotes, infused in water and spirit, cooked with sugar into fruit leather and jam, added to fruit drinks and Chinese sweet snacks (shanzhapian).
Hawthorn fruit infusion is an ancient drink widely known in European cuisine for its healing properties. Hawthorn has been used in folk medicine since ancient times to strengthen the heart, normalize blood pressure, and improve circulation. This infusion has a mild, slightly astringent taste with fruity notes that provide a sense of comfort and warmth. It is perfect for consumption during cold weather, helping to relax and restore energy. It is easy to prepare: dried fruits are poured with boiling water, infused, and strained. The drink can be consumed several times a day in small portions, enjoying its natural harmony of taste and benefits.
