Preparation:
Infuse the Wine: Place the rosemary sprigs into the bottle of red wine. Seal the bottle and store it in a cool, dark place for about 2-4 weeks. The longer it infuses, the stronger the flavors and benefits.
Strain: After the infusion period, remove the rosemary sprigs and strain the wine through a fine mesh sieve to ensure all plant particles are removed.
Storage: Transfer the infused wine into a clean bottle or jar. Seal and store in a cool, dark place.
How to Use:
Moderate Consumption: To enjoy the health benefits, consume this tonic in moderation. A small glass (about 125 ml) a few times a week is sufficient. Remember, the key with alcohol, even when used for health purposes, is moderation to avoid adverse effects.
Points to Consider:
Consult Your Doctor: Before starting any new dietary regimen, especially one involving alcohol, consult with your healthcare provider, particularly if you have health conditions or are on medication.
Alternative Methods: For those who avoid alcohol, consider steeping rosemary in a vinegar base or hot water to make a tea. While it won’t have the same properties as wine, rosemary itself is beneficial.
This rosemary and wine tonic is an example of how traditional remedies and modern health advice can merge to offer potential health benefits. As always, such natural treatments should complement a well-rounded approach to health that includes diet, exercise, and regular medical check-ups.
