How long can we keep dried linden flowers (for linden tea)?!


Question:

How long can we keep dried linden flowers (for linden tea)?

My brother in law gave us a large amount of dried linden flowers, from 2003. Would there be any harm in making tea with them?


Answers:

They will not harm you. They will have lost some of their potency so they will not be as effective.

But when using the tea from the store how do you know how old it is.

The one thing to watch for is mold. How were they stored they should be dried very well and then stored in an air tight container or bag.

If they have been in an air tight container smell them when you take them out and make sure that you do not smell mold and since you have allot go to the bottom of the container and see what they are like. Make sure there is no mold and no bugs have gotten in
