Mountain rose herbs has a few more recipes on their site too. I have no idea why I chose rosemary, but it intrigued me.
I can't recall where I collected the information, so I am back to borrowing books. In the mean time, I am allowing the wine to sit for 1-3 weeks. From what I have read, anything left sit longer will be too strong of an infused wine.
Rosemary has so many good qualities for healing that I wanted to try it first, but will try elderberry next I think. My trees are getting larger, but not producing berries just yet.
I'm finding that these "tonic wines" can be somewhat like an aperitif, and taken before a meal.
Just when I think I have discovered the last "new" herbal concoction to try, I find another.
I have to admit, I can't imagine the flavour combination. I'm interested to know how it turns out. I've tried berry-infused white wines before, but they were more desserty. I think red wine itself is wonderful, I have a glass every night after dinner as a digestif too.
ReplyDeleteRain, I'll let you know. I read that it should infuse for 3 weeks for a strong flavor. I may try it after 1 week.
ReplyDeleteI love rosemary and I think I would love it in wine too. I usually have a glass of red wine before and with dinner. This sounds intriguing. When my mother was pregnant with me the doctor told her to drink a glass of red wine before dinner to increase her appetite because she was so tiny and I was too. I was 5 pounds at birth. Did it work? Would I have been smaller? We'll never know! LOL! I have made up for lost time though!
ReplyDeleteSam I am, I am quite interested in the taste this wine will have too. That's also interesting the doctor told her to drink the wine for that reason.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I bet it would be good to cook with too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
