Midsummer is just around the corner. In Estonia, that means bonfires, bright summer nights, and of course, sauna!
One beloved Midsummer tradition is making your own sauna whisk, or viht, as we say in Estonian. And what better time to do it than now, when birch branches are fresh and fragrant? π³
There are many different types of sauna whisks, but the classic choice is birch. But whisks can also be made from juniper, lilac, or even various herbs, each bringing its own aroma and character to the sauna experience.
Have you ever made your own sauna whisk? πΏ
