Thyme

In Tagalog, thyme is commonly referred to as "matsiyo" or "timyo." Thyme is a popular herb used in cooking for its aromatic and flavorful qualities. It is often used in Mediterranean cuisine and pairs well with a variety of dishes, including meats, vegetables, and soups.

Cover marrow with water, add a bundle of thyme and simmer until soft. Remove thyme and sieve marrow. Season to taste and serve with fresh thyme leaves sprinkled over.

Thyme originates from the Mediterranean region, and dried thyme was burned in ancient Greece during ceremonies.

The Egyptians used thyme as an embalming agent in the mummification process.

Its medicinal properties were utilized in the 16th century as an antiseptic and antibacterial agent, before the discovery of antibiotics.

Today, Asia is the world's largest producer of thyme, with Europe, the Mediterranean region, and America other large producers.

You can use the leaves and stalks for flavouring. Lift out the stalks before serving a cooked dish if you haven't chopped them up. Don't use the stalks in an uncooked dish as they are quite coarse.

You boil them till they look dead, then strain out all the herbs so you are left with hot herbal tea. You can add sugar or honey wether you want some sweetness to it or not, it doesn't matter. Then you drink and enjoy. =]
