Ingredients:
- 10 fresh rosemary branches (about 6–8 inches long each)
- 4–5 cups of water
- Honey, lemon, or sweetener (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the rosemary: Rinse the rosemary branches under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Boil the water: In a medium-sized pot, bring the water to a boil.
- Add the rosemary: Once the water is boiling, add the rosemary branches to the pot.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the rosemary simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the essential oils to infuse into the water.
- Strain: After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and strain the liquid into a teapot or large mug to remove the branches.
- Serve: Add honey or lemon to taste, if desired. Enjoy the warm infusion as a calming tea.
Notes:
- Aromatherapy benefit: While boiling, the aroma of rosemary can fill your home, offering a natural air freshener and potential cognitive-enhancing effects.
- Skin or hair rinse: You can also use the cooled rosemary water as a hair rinse to promote scalp health, or as a facial steam to rejuvenate the skin.
