Rosemary Longevity Tea + Botanical Anthology

Rosemary is a beautiful plant! It helps protect mind, body, and spirit. This herb is both an ancient remedy and a culinary delight, and there are so many ways to work with it. 

In the All About Rosemary booklet, which accompanies the autumn issue of Botanical Anthology, I shared my longevity tea recipe which combines this delightfully pungent and tasty herb with other plants valued for their neuroprotective properties. Here is the recipe portion of my article – you can find the full article in the booklet!

Materials

2 tsp rosemary, dried

1 tsp ginkgo leaves, dried

1 tsp goji berries, dried

½ tsp ginger, dried

Method

Mix the ingredients in a bowl to make a single cuppa, but you’ll probably want to scale up the

recipe and make a larger batch to sip often!

To brew one cup of tea, place a tablespoon of the blend in a tea strainer or disposable eco-

friendly paper tea bag. Pour just-boiled water over the tea and allow to steep for 10 minutes.

If you’d like, you can sweeten your tea with a bit of honey, maple syrup, or sugar.

Aside from my tea, the All About Rosemary booklet contains so many jewels worth reading and recipes worth trying: 

And all this accompanies the full Botanical Anthology magazine issue. I am sharing about it because this independent magazine, a labor of love by creative folks, is near and dear to me as I help edit and compile this publication and write articles for it.

With 40 articles from 38 contributors, there is something in this magazine for every budding herbalist, natural health enthusiast, (urban) homesteader, kitchen witch, and nature lover.

TODAY is the last day to download our digital version at a discounted price of $15 and receive the free All About Rosemary booklet. I hope you’ll consider treating yourself to a copy and enjoying the autumn plant goodness!
