Rosemary tea

[southeast-isher]

Sounds really good. Does anyone here drink it and notice it doing good?

nevertried it... but am going to!
I´ve got some rosemary in the garden, as well as other herbs, but never seem to use the rosemary for anything!

I drink qiuite afew other herbal teas so will give this a try very soon!

Thanks for the link

No probs... i'm the same, can get it and/or grow it easily... and it sounds really good.

So that's why rosemary is for rememberence. Well I never.

I'd forgotten. Ho ho. Must use rosemary more often!

I drank a daily mug of rosemary and fennel seed tea for years (working rotating three shifts my digestive system didn’t know if it was coming or going). I made it using a sprig of fresh rosemary; very soothing to drink but the main benefits seemed accumulative.

I was joking before but I really ought to use rosemary more often even if only to chuck a sprig in the bathwater. It's one of the few herbs usable in the middle of freezing cold winter. Never tried drinking it though as I've never been into herbal teas. I suppose, much like bay leaves, that I don't think about them until after dark and I'm cooking dinner and I'm not going out with a torch to go and get some!

well, just made muself some... loved it.

I thought I might have to add a little honey. but no. it was great on it´s own!

i did consider buying a coupe more plants this morning at the market, but dsecided to wait till I´d tried it.
Definitely on my list for next week. 2 or 3 plants at least!

By the way, i think it's a very bee friendly plant if memory serves me right.

Just had to try it and yes, it's highly acceptable, just on its own. That article is interesting. Thanks for that, southeast-isher.

Super easy to propagate,half a dozen tips 3'' long,strip the last 1'' and pot up all 6 around the edge of a 9cm pot,water well cover with a clear plastic bag secured with an elastic band .Kitchen window sill in decent light,at least half should strike within 6 weeks.
maybe save a bit of cash and have fun at the same time. Best Wishes.

Excellent....
I´ll do that tomorrow.....

Still have to buy a couple tho....whlst they grow on!

Just buy one and take cuttings from it as you'll have lots of new plants from it for free. Then as you live in Spain wait a few years and then start wondering what to do with all the self seeded rosemaries taking over your garden. Mine is a menace!

Just wo´nt be propagating my one today... It´s snowing!

Only very lightly. but snowing nonetheless. i hust hope it doesnt getheavy, or set, as I´ve got a portion of the roof that´s very weak.and would most likely cave in, if we get a heavy snowfall. ( have had up to 1m overnight in the past!)

and it certainly wouldnt do my seeds / seedlings any good either ( in a flimsy plastic grenhouse)

Oh what part of Spain are you in? Are you up a mountain?
