What is it about Rosemary? Rosmarinus officinalis, or The Dew of the Sea as I wrote about in a long ago blog posting, is the kind of herb that one either loves or hates...there doesn't seem to be any in-between 'sorta' feelings.
Me? I have always been a proponent of this ancient Mediterranean herb. I was lucky enough to be given a big bag of fresh cut rosemary from Linda's garden. This was like a giant Christmas gift for me: I have been using it in so many ways.
*I have sprigs of it under the seats in my car as a natural air freshener.
*It's tucked in all the closets in my apartment.
*It's great to put a few sprigs inside winter boots and shoes to freshen them up until they are needed again.
*I stripped a few branches and used my food processor to cut up the needles in a very fine chop. This I mixed with some fresh lavender, made little tulle pillows that lay flat, and have put them inside my pillowcases.
*There's even some in my filing cabinets in my office!
*I've made a facial spray and hair rinse.
*I've made a base infusion and have frozen it in ice cubes so it's ready when I need to make other remedies.
Gotta run for now...more later!
