Hawthorn Berry Tea

Hawthorne (Crataegus oxycantha) is a small thorny tree or shrub 
that produces brilliant red clusters of berries. Native to the 
Mediterranean region including north Africa and all of Europe 
and central Asia, Hawethorne can now be found in many areas of 
North America.

According to Christian legend, the Crown of 
Thorns was beleived to be made of Hawethorn. Therefore, the herb 
was thought to posess miraculous health properties. In ancient 
Greece, Hawethorn was a symbol of hope and happiness, while in 
Rome it was considered a potent charm. Both ancient and modern 
herbalists have succesfully used Hawthorn for its food and 
health benefits.
