Black Currant Tea

 Easily distinguishable by the strong perfume of its buds and leaves, the black currant has long been valued for its various medicinal properties. The herb grows wild in the damp woods of middle Scotland, but is considered to be a true native of Yorkshire and the Lake District only.

Black currant tea made from an infusion of the leaves is said to have diuretic and cleansing properties. On the other hand, black currant tea from the herb’s young roots is useful in eruptive fevers. The tea is also said to be excellent lozenges for inflammatory sore throats.
