What This Product Is

LEKRASET Rukkilill 25 g is a herbal tea made from cornflower flowers, a plant long appreciated in traditional herbal use for its mild, pleasant character. People usually choose cornflower as a simple botanical infusion when they want to add more herbs to their food supplement regimen or enjoy a light flower-based tea alongside meals.

Key Plant Compounds

Cornflower flowers contain naturally occurring plant compounds:

Flavonoids
Anthocyanins
Bitter substances

In plain language, these are the parts of the plant that give it color, taste and much of its herbal value. When prepared as an infusion, the flowers release these substances into the water, creating a gentle herbal drink. Because this product contains only Flores Centaureae cyani, it may appeal to those who prefer single-herb products rather than mixed herbal blends.

Format and Preparation

The loose dried flower form is also worth noting. Whole or cut herbal material is often chosen by people who enjoy the more traditional way of preparing herbs, as it lets the plant steep gradually in hot water. This format suits those who like to include an herbal cup with breakfast or lunch, or who rotate different botanicals depending on the season and their personal preferences.

Traditional Background

Cornflower has a long history in European folk herbal traditions, where flower infusions were used as part of household herb collections. Today, LEKRASET cornflower flowers are best seen as a straightforward herbal supplement for adults who appreciate classic medicinal plants in tea form, without added flavors or extra components.

Important Notes

As with other herbs, tolerance can vary from person to person. Consider consulting a healthcare professional before use if you are:

Pregnant
Breastfeeding
Prone to plant allergies
Taking medicines

Stop taking it if any unwanted reaction appears.

Customer Questions

LEKRASET cornflower comes as loose dried flowers, so you prepare it like any traditional loose herbal tea. A common starting point is to use about 1 teaspoon of flowers per cup (roughly 200–250 ml) of hot water. Boil water and let it sit for a minute or two before pouring it over the flowers—this avoids scalding the delicate petals. Steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. The longer you steep, the more color and flavor the water picks up, but the tea may also become slightly more bitter because of the plant's natural bitter substances. Strain the flowers before drinking. You can adjust the amount and steeping time to suit your taste; if you prefer a lighter cup, use less flower or steep for a shorter time. If you want a stronger cup, add a little more flower rather than steeping much longer, as over-steeping can make the tea taste flat or overly bitter. This loose format is convenient for those who enjoy a traditional brewing ritual. You can also prepare a larger batch and keep it in the fridge for a cold drink, though it is best consumed fresh. Always use a clean strainer or teapot. This tea is meant to be enjoyed as part of your daily routine and is not a substitute for a balanced diet. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.

Cornflower tea is generally described as mild and pleasant, with a light floral character. The plant contains naturally occurring bitter substances, so the infusion has a subtle, gentle bitterness that is not overpowering. The anthocyanins and flavonoids give the tea its color and contribute to a slightly earthy or herbaceous undertone. Because this product is a single-herb flower with no added flavors, the taste is straightforward and clean. Some people find it similar to other light flower teas, though it tends to be less sweet and a bit more vegetal. The bitterness becomes more noticeable if you steep the tea for a long time or use a generous amount of flowers. If you prefer a milder cup, use a shorter steeping time or fewer flowers. You can also add a small amount of honey or a slice of lemon to round out the flavor, though the product itself contains no added ingredients. This tea is often chosen by people who like to rotate different botanicals and want a simple, floral cup without extra components.

Because LEKRASET cornflower is a loose dried flower, proper storage is important to preserve its color, aroma, and flavor. Keep the flowers in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong heat sources. A cool, dry cupboard or pantry is ideal. Avoid storing the container near the stove, dishwasher, or refrigerator, as these areas can have fluctuating humidity and temperature. Make sure the container is sealed tightly after each use, and if you transfer the flowers to another jar, ensure it is completely clean and dry. Check the best-before date on the package and use the product within a reasonable time after opening; dried herbs generally keep their quality for about a year if stored well, but always rely on the package date as a guide. If you notice any signs of mold, an off smell, or a change in color, discard the product. Proper storage helps the flowers release their natural compounds when brewed, so you get a consistent cup every time.
