2Coltsfoot, also known as tussilago, is a perennial plant that blooms from the first days of spring. Widespread in Quebec, it is easily recognizable by its bright yellow flowers that appear before the leaves. The flower buds and dried leaves are traditionally appreciated in herbalism and in infusions.

Renowned for its sweet and slightly herbaceous flavor, coltsfoot is ideal for preparing comforting herbal teas or for enhancing certain culinary recipes.

🤝 Synergy Ideas

Combine coltsfoot with thyme, mint, Labrador tea, or nettle to create infusions with sweet and vegetal flavors.
