Strong antibiotic properties and it has been seen used in herbal teas and as an alternative antibiotic in livestock feed, right through to a bacterial inhibitor in the processing of sugar. It also makes really great iced tea. In brewing, it has a somewhat similar profile to Crystal, except that it doesn’t impart any bittering at all. It contributes floral aromas when used as a late addition.
