Description
Horehound (Marrubium vulgare), also known as 'white horehound', is an aromatic plant from the Lamiaceae family. The species occurs naturally in dry, sunny areas in Europe and Western Asia and was already described in classical antiquity as a valuable herb with a characteristic slightly bitter taste.
The leaves and flower heads are traditionally dried and used in infusions or herbal blends. Horehound was used in various European regions as a flavouring component in homemade herbal drinks and syrups, and is known for its robust, spicy aroma that combines well with other bitter or aromatic botanicals.
Due to its unique flavour profile and rich history, malrove is suitable for those looking for a traditional, spicy character with a slightly bitter note in infusions.
