Horehound

Horehound has been known for its medicinal uses dating back to the 1st century BC, where it appeared as a remedy for respiratory ailments, and since then has been used for similar purposes over the centuries. Horehound drops are bittersweet hard candies with a flavour similar to menthol and root beer, used as a cough drop or digestive aid. This plant is also used to make beverages like horehound beer, horehound tea, and the rock and rye cocktail.
