Cedar is a common tree in the Quebec forest, whose leaves have been consumed in herbal tea for a long time, notably for their rich vitamin C content. The white cedar infusion has a fairly intense coniferous scent, with menthol and slightly lemony. Cedar is not traditionally used in cooking, although we are starting to see it appear in some recipes featuring boreal forest products. Like most evergreens, it pairs well with juniper and Labrador tea. It's an interesting combination for wild meat dishes and red wine-based sauces. You can also use cedar, sparingly, in desserts.
