Calluna vulgaris. For authentic Scottish ales.  It is both the flowers and the greenery of this wonderful herb which impart a pleasing aroma and smooth bitterness to beers. It is especially appropriate for a Scotch ale known as Fraoch. With a flavor similar to a subtle chamomile/mint blend with a hint of lavender, heather pairs well with honey. It's also great for tea, with reputed calming qualities.

Instructions: Add 2 to 4 ounces to wort at the beginning of the boil. Recipe could also include honey and a pinch of sweet gale. Also makes a great tea!
