The aromatic profile of the Pitta herbal infusion

On the nose, lemongrass releases a bright citrus freshness, immediately followed by a double mint (spearmint and peppermint) that brings a distinctively icy, cooling sensation.

At the heart, mulberry leaves weave a round, thirst-quenching vegetal base, while liquorice root lends a naturally sweet quality with no added sugar. Cardamom unfolds warm, almost camphor-like spiced notes that beautifully balance the minty freshness.

In the finish, rose petals and cornflower blossoms offer a delicate floral signature that lingers on the palate. The cup reveals a crystalline liquor with golden hues.

How to prepare the Pitta herbal infusion

Use 15 to 20 g of botanicals per litre of water brought to a full boil at 100°C. Steep for 7 to 10 minutes depending on the desired strength: the longer the infusion, the more the liquorice comes forward, naturally sweetening the cup.

A teapot with a wide-basket filter works best, allowing the leaves, roots and flowers to open up freely. Cardamom reveals its full aroma when the seeds are lightly crushed before brewing.

In summer, this infusion makes a wonderful iced drink: brew hot, leave to cool, then pour over ice with a slice of lime. Enjoy it throughout the day and into the evening — caffeine-free, it can be savoured at any hour.

Traditionally associated benefits

In Ayurvedic tradition, the Pitta dosha governs transformation and inner heat. Cooling botanicals such as mint and rose are traditionally used to bring it into balance.

Peppermint is recognised for its contribution to digestive comfort according to EFSA assessments on aromatic plants. Liquorice root, a traditional ingredient, is subject to moderate consumption recommendations published by ANSES, particularly for people with high blood pressure or during pregnancy.
