Greek mountain tea is composed of plants related to the family of Sideritis, which comes from the Greek word sideros meaning iron. You sometimes see older generations of women still picking herbs from the more rural areas and periphery of the city basin. It has been one of the most popular and commonly used Greek herbs since ancient times and is drunk for its medicinal benefits, often with honey added to sweeten the flavour. Add this to hot water to make your own cup of tea or just enjoy the scent of the leaves if you prefer.
