Cut white willow bark (Salix alba) has a slightly woody and earthy flavour with natural bitter notes. It is used as a food ingredient in loose herbal teas and blended with other dried herbs to create flavourful beverages. Sweeteners such as honey, citrus, or aromatic spices may be added to balance its bitterness.
White willow bark is also a common ingredient in herbal blends designed for relaxation or general well-being, paired with herbs like chamomile, ginger, or peppermint.
