Wine and Rosemary Tonic for Heart Health
★Ingredients
2-3 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 bottle (750 ml) of good quality red wine (preferably rich in resveratrol)
★Instructions
- Prepare the Infusion
- Open the bottle of red wine and insert the fresh rosemary sprigs directly into the wine.
- Infuse
- Reseal the wine bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Allow the wine and rosemary to infuse for 2-4 weeks. The longer the infusion period, the more potent the flavors and benefits will become.
- Strain the Mixture
- After the infusion period, carefully remove the rosemary sprigs. Strain the wine through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining rosemary particles.
- Store
- Transfer the infused wine to a clean, airtight jar or bottle. Store it in a cool, dark place.
- Consumption
- Enjoy a small glass (about 125 ml) of this tonic 2-3 times a week for its potential heart health benefits.
