Can hyssop be combined with other herbs when brewing? — Hyssop Herb 40 g - LEKRASET

The loose format of LEKRASET hyssop is convenient precisely because it lets you experiment with the composition of the infusion. Hyssop has a pronounced spicy, herbal flavour with a slight bitterness, so when mixed with other herbs it usually sets the tone for the whole drink.

• With mild herbs such as mint or lemon balm, hyssop creates a contrast: its spiciness is set off by the fresher notes of its partner. This combination appeals to those who want to soften the intensity of hyssop.
• With herbs of a similar character — sage or wild thyme — the flavour becomes fuller and richer. This is an option for those who appreciate bold, spicy infusions.
• Proportions. When mixing herbs, it makes sense to start with a small share of hyssop (about a third of the total volume of the blend) to see how much you like its flavour in the combination.

It is important to remember that when several herbs are mixed, the total load on the body increases. Take individual tolerance into account. If you are taking any medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a specialist before putting together your own blends.
