About the herb
A lichen, despite the name.
Picked by hand off open ground and dried in air, Icelandic moss is a winter herb taken for a dry cough and a raw throat, and it coats as it goes down.
Mild and faintly bitter, and it thickens the water slightly as it steeps, giving the cup a soft body. Day three of a cold, when your throat has had enough.
