What Is Linden Flower?

American linden, also known as basswood, is a common tree in Quebec, even in the city, where it grows in parks and along sidewalks. You've almost certainly walked past one! Its small yellow flowers are very fragrant and bloom at the end of June, so in early summer you can catch their sweet, honeyed scent on a stroll.

How to Use Linden Flower

Linden flower is often used in herbal teas and infusions, but it can also add a subtle touch of sweetness to desserts and savoury dishes.

Grind the flowers into a powder with a mortar and pestle, then sprinkle them into your dishes however your creativity takes you. Try it in baked apples with maple syrup, or add it when making red currant jelly.
