About this product
A spoonful in warm water on a gray morning, the color of old garnet held up to the light. Hawthorn has marked the field boundaries of Europe for a thousand years, a thorned hedge that ripens small, tart, dark red berries, a plainer cousin to the rosehip.
These berries are hand-harvested in the Carpathian foothills after the first frost, when the cold is said to concentrate their character, then dried slowly and extracted in small batches. A touch of raw honey rounds the cordial, which is syrupy enough to coat a spoon and carries none of the raw bitterness of a fresh infusion, only a plummy tartness beneath the honey. In European folk tradition, herbalists have long called hawthorn the heart's own friend.
