Picked this up from an overseas hotel room – interested because I like elderblossom flavoring. Also called linden in German and tilleul in French. It steeps up to a light greenish-yellow liquor, with a mild herbal/slightly sweet and citrusy aroma. The flavor is gently musky and just a little naturally sweet – overall, very relaxing.

Lime was sort of the default for night tisanes in my part of Europe for ages. Now it is getting replaced by hibiscus which is a totally different “animal” and which I do not like nearly as much!
Agreed – I find hibiscus brash and lime much more gentle.
In Slovakia we called the tree LIPA ( linden tree ) and we drink LIPOVY CAJ . In England they called it a LIME FLOWER. It taste nice with some honey.
