Mountain Tea
Sideritis
Gojnik
Τσάι του βουνού
This wild mountain tea, known as Sideritis is very popular in Greece.The most common English name other than Mountain Tea is "Shepherd's Tea," because Greek shepherds would use the plants to make a brewed tea while tending their flocks high in the hills.
Mountain tea has a sweet, floral and earthy taste with a strong aroma.
It is said that mountain tea has a positive effect on almost anything that ails. Traditionally it has been used to aid digestion, strengthen the immune system and suppress common cold, the flu and other viruses, even pain and mild anxiety.
Rich in antioxidants, known scientifically to be anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory.
How to make mountain tea infusion:
It is commonly prepared by boiling the stems, leaves and flowers in a pot of water.
Gather 1-2 stems of the tea leaves and break them into thirds. Fill your pot with 1 cup of water. Place your tea leaves in the water and let them boil. Once boiling, remove pot from heat and allow tea to steep for about 5 mins. Pour tea into a cup while carefully using a strainer to catch the tea leaves. Serve with honey and lemon.
Rather than boiling, put the stems into a teapot with a cup and fill with boiling water. Let the tea steep for five minutes.

Greek Raw Honey
Greece has a long history of bee-keeping and there are more beehives per acre in Greece than any other country in Europe, so it comes as no surprise that Greek honey is considered the best in the world.
A wide biodiversity of flora combined with the Aegean summer sun is what helps produce this unique golden nectar.
Honey is the first traditional sweetener used by Greeks since antiquity. In fact, honey along with olives and grapes formed the beginnings of Greek gastronomy. Greek honey is one of the most nutritional, natural foods, filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Honey contains anti-bacterial, antiviral and antifungal substances and has also been used for centuries as a treatment for sore throats and coughs, minor burns, cuts and other bacterial infections.
The honey from Greece is considered to be one of the finest on a global scale due to the unlimited summer sun, the biodiversity of the Greek countryside plus the rich variety of Greek flora, which includes over 850 species found nowhere else in the world.
Greek honeys are richer in aromatic substances, compared to other honeys produced in other countries; they have less humidity, which means they are denser and richer.
