Rosemary
Let's start by growing and harvesting rosemary. Rosemary is a low-maintenance plant and can thrive in many climates. If you have rosemary in your garden, cut some fresh sprigs with clean scissors or break off with your fingertips. The leaves are best cut in the morning when the essential oils are most concentrated. Leave the leaves to dry for a few hours after cutting to remove any excess moisture. The leaves can then be left to dry in a warm, well-ventilated, dark place.
Storing rosemary
Remember to store excess rosemary properly to preserve its flavour. Dark, airtight containers are best for storage. You can also experiment by combining rosemary tea with other herbs to discover unique flavours.
Health tip
Rosemary tea not only has a delicious flavour, but also some health benefits. It can aid digestion, reduce stress and improve memory. Whether you use fresh or dried rosemary, making this tea is easy and rewarding.
