Thyme Rubbed Lemon

Lemon thyme, also known as citrus thyme, brings a refreshing twist to standard thyme. This lemon-scented, evergreen perennial from the Lamiaceae family has a zesty flavour and aroma. Unlike common thyme, lemon thyme boasts bright green leaves and a delightful citrus fragrance that makes it a standout in both the kitchen and in herbal remedies.

Lemon thyme is an evergreen shrub with pink or lavender flowers. It is rich in vitamins C, D and B-complex as well as thymol.

Rubbed lemon thyme is created by gently rubbing the dried leaves into a coarse powder.
