Horehound — 2 oz

Horehound is a traditional bulk herb with a strong, bitter flavor and a long history of use in old-fashioned herbal teas and candies. Botanically known as Marrubium vulgare, horehound was widely grown in European cottage gardens and later brought to North America by settlers, where it became naturalized in many areas.

The genus name Marrubium is believed to come from a Hebrew word meaning “bitter juice,” which fits horehound’s bold, distinctive taste. This herb is especially well known as a classic ingredient in traditional horehound candy, herbal syrups, tea blends, and home apothecary preparations.
