Origin
In Crete, where we collect our dittany, it is also known as Erondas (from Eros = love, infatuation), because gathering this herb on the steep slopes of the Cretan mountains is hard, like the sufferings of love, but the suffering is worth the reward!
Our dittany is cultivated in Southern Crete, at an altitude of 400 m. The genetic material for the cultivated plants comes from wild populations, helping to preserve this endangered species.
Dittany summer drink.
A new gastronomical idea was created to make the historic use of dittany better known and to combine its aromas with citrus fruits, for an invigorating summer drink.
Ingredients – for 1 pitcher (750ml)
3 Greek Organic Dittany pyramids, 4-5 mountain tea flowers, 5 orange slices, 2 tsp honey (optional)
Method
In a pitcher, add 3 glasses of water, 3 Greek Organic Dittany pyramids, and the mountain tea flowers. Keep covered in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Before serving, remove the pyramids from the pitcher. Serve your chilled drink in a glass over ice and add the orange slices.
Tip: If you would like to add Symbeeosis honey to your beverage, dissolve the honey in a little tepid water and then add it to the pitcher with the pyramids.
Be symbiotic
Dittany, traditionally known for its soothing properties, combines well with the relaxing effect of chamomile.
If you want to make your beverage sweeter, add some honey and orange peels.
