Heather tips?

I just scored a whole mess of used equipment for small money! One of the things that was thrown in was a small bag of heather tips. What are these used for? Are they used as a spice, or a brewing aid, or what?

use them to make a Heather Ale. I’ve had a commercial example before and it was really amazing. It was Fraoch Heather Ale by Williams Brothers Brewing(i think that is the name) in Scotland.

other than that, not sure what you would use them in.

if you are tired of wearing feathers in your cap…or just yearning for a change.
