It certainly packs a punch - both the smell and taste are strong, much more so than I've experienced with rosemary tea or cooking with rosemary. As well as sipping this from time to time as a stimulating drink I can certainly see it going into a salad dressing or sauce.
I don't have great circulation so this ought to be a good drink for me as rosemary boosts the circulation (I've also gone back to sprinkling a little cayenne pepper on my vegetables!). Now there's a thought... rosemary and cayenne wine, yee hah!
Rosemary is such an amazing herb that has so many uses. I just did a quick search on my blog to remind myself of some of the recipes I've used it in.
- In Winter hair blues? Give your hair a herbal treat I wrote about using rosemary in a homemade herbal hair oil and vinegar hair rinse
- In our UK Herbarium Blog Party: Emerging from winter with herbs we had a rosemary and St John's Wort tea
- I use rosemary in the Nettle and Rosemary shampoo I make for Amiya Natural Beauty
- My recent experiments in making my own perfume included rosemary in the lovely Hungary Water

Hi
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of Rosemary - went to collect some from my garden yesterday to put in my roast veggies and those pretty but very nasty little beetles are active already. They have decimated my rosemary bush and I refuse to use chemicals to kill the critters! Guess there is no alternative but to manually pluck and stamp on them! Ugh! Your rosemary looks terrifically healthy, Elizabeth.
