Blackthorn Berries (Prunus spinosa), also called sloe berries, are tart, deep purple fruits used in teas, syrups and home infusions. They lend a bright, astringent flavour that balances sweetness in cordials and makes a classic base for sloe gin. In traditional herbal use they are prepared as a simple, mild cup after meals. A practical bulk option for kitchen projects and cosy, cool-season blends.
♡ Why we love it: Distinctive tartness that shines in homemade liqueurs, syrups and jams, and a steady, comforting profile in a warm cup. Easy to measure, steep and strain for everyday recipes.
Size: 100g.
