I have grown some Rosemary for cooking. The plant has little blue/lavender coloured flowers all over it. I wanted to freeze the Rosemary but do I have to pick off all the flowers or are they edible? do they taste ok? will they be ok to freeze???
Rosemary - what to do with the flowers???
They've gone to seed when they flower, and the taste becomes somewhat bitter and more pungent. You don't need to freeze it. I just hang it in bunches in the garage to dry and then pinch off what I need from time to time. It's best to harvest rosemary before it flowers.
Reply:Do not freeze them dry them in a paper bag in a warm cupboard. I normally wait until all the flowers are gone before I do mine.
Reply:They are not okay to freeze. They are okay to dry in a warm place and, yes, they are edible.

What are the health benefits of essiac tea and rosemary tea?
Most people take essiac tea (in an aggressive dose) as an alternative (complementary or supplementary) treatment to conventional cancer treatment. Some take it because they have studied the available information on essiac, and believe it reduces the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation. The decision on whether to combine essiac use with traditional treatments is up to each individual. There is no evidence that essiac interferes with other pharmaceutical or natural treatments. In many cases, essiac seems to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and can complement other natural remedies. Please inform your health care provider if you decide to use essiac (or anything else) as a supplemental treatment.
Some people mainly take essiac (in a maintenance dose) as a daily supplement to promote general overall well-being, or as a preventive measure against many forms of disease, possibly due to its immune system-enhancing properties.
Many people give essiac to their pets, believing it reduces the agony of arthritis and extends the life (and/or improves the quality of life) of pets with terminal cancer and other ailments.
What are some of the reported benefits of essiac tea?
1. Prevents the buildup of excess fatty deposits in artery walls, heart, kidney and liver.
2. Regulates cholesterol levels by transforming sugar and fat into energy.
3. Destroys parasites in the digestive system and throughout the body.
4. Helps counteract the effects of aluminum, lead and mercury poisoning.
5. Strengthens and tightens muscles, organs and tissues.
6. Makes bones, joints, ligaments, lungs, and membranes strong and flexible, consequently less vulnerable to stress or stress injuries.
7. Nourishes and stimulates the brain and nervous system.
8. Promotes the absorption of fluids in the tissues.
9. Removes toxic accumulations in the fat, lymph, bone marrow, bladder, and alimentary canals.
10. Neutralizes acids, absorbs toxins in the bowel, and eliminates both.
More reported benefits of essiac tea:
11. Clears the respiratory channels by dissolving and expelling mucus.
12. Relieves the liver of its burden of detoxification by converting fatty toxins into water-soluble substances that can then be easily eliminated through the kidneys.
13. Assists the liver to produce lecithin, which forms part of the myelin sheath, a white fatty material that encloses nerve fibers.
14. Reduces, perhaps eliminates, heavy metal deposits in tissues (especially those surrounding the joints) to reduce inflammation and stiffness.
15. Improves the functions of the pancreas and spleen by increasing the effectiveness of insulin.
16. Purifies the blood.
17. Increases red cell production, and keeps the cells from rupturing.
18. Increases the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in the tissue cells.
19. Maintains the balance between potassium and sodium within the body so that the fluid inside and outside each cell is regulated: in this way, cells are nourished with nutrients and are also cleansed.
20. Converts calcium and potassium oxalates into a harmless form by making them solvent in the urine. Regulates the amount of oxalic acid delivered to the kidneys, reducing the risk of stone formation in the gall bladder, kidneys, and/or urinary tract.
And there are even more benefits of essiac tea, according to The Essiac Handbook:
21. Protects against toxins entering the brain.
22. Protects the body against radiation and X-rays.
23. Relieves pain, increases the appetite, and provides more energy along with a sense of well-being.
24. Speeds up wound healing by helping to regenerate the damaged area.
25. Increases the production of antibodies like lymphocytes and T-cells in the thymus gland, which is the defender of our immune system.
26. Inhibits (and possibly destroys) benign growths and tumors.
27. Protects the cells against free radicals.
28. Decreases sugar cravings due to better blood sugar control.
Sorry, but I don't know anything about rosemary tea.
What are the health benefits of essiac tea and rosemary tea?
I knew a lady who took essiac tea regularly every day for cancer. She died...and it tastes kinda nasty too...and expensive
Essiac is the name of a lady in canada (spelled backwards, so her name was Caisse) and she cured herself of an incurable ailment with this mixture of American Indian medical herbs that she got from a shaman I believe...I think there is slippery elm in it and it tastes kind of like slick...kind of licoricey..???. I tasted it once and that was enough for me..here is a link to the website for it

Reply:rosemary tea- stomach cramps
Reply:All weird teas are only beneficial to the promoters.
Essiac spelled backwards may be a woman's name (is it?), but I know that in French it means "Cash Register".
Reply:Longer life.
Reply:I have no idea what is essiac tea, is there another name for it?
for rosemary....
Rosemary Tea increases circulation and slightly raises the blood pressure warming the body from the inside out. Internally Rosemary Tea stimulates the liver and digestion, promotes blood circulation, tones up the blood vessels, invigorates, and increases your awareness. Use Rosemary Tea as a mouthwash for bad breath.

Cooking- Every hear of putting dried rosemary into the water before boiling rice?
Never heard of it but you can top it on top of the rice when finished for a nice little touch.

It sounds lovely.
Reply:I usually use saffron, but I suppose rosemary would do the same thing, add a little flavor to the water and through it to the rice. Give it a try, let me know how it goes.

How do you cook farmed trout I added rosemary but it still tastes?
Pan Fried Trout
Reluctant Gourmet’s Tips
1. Use a cast iron fry pan for this meal if you have one.
2. Try margarine instead of butter to reduce smoking.
Pan Fried Trout with Eggs %26amp; Fried Potatoes
Cooking Technique = Pan Fry
INGREDIENTS2 Tablespoons margarine
Trout, fresh caught if possible and cleaned
Bacon Fry Coating Mix
1 onion, chopped
4-5 Idaho potatoes, cubed
1 egg for coating, farm fresh if possible
eggs, as many as you like to eat for breakfast
PREP WORK Cleaning the fish: We cleaned the fish just after we caught them by gutting them, cutting off the gills, and most importantly, scraping off the blood line off the backbone.
Chop the onion, cube the potatoes and you are ready to start.
HOW TO MAKE AT HOMEHeat margarine in your fry pan over medium high heat. If you use butter, lower the heat a little to prevent smoking. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add potato. Cook until potato softens up a little, approximately 10 minutes. Make room for the fish.
Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Drying will prevent the fish from steaming when you cook it.
Place fish into egg and coat with Bacon Fry Coating Mix. We used Krusteary Bacon Fry Coating Mix, but I'm not sure this is available outside of McCall, Idaho.
Add fish to the fry pan and cook until golden brown and the meat separates from the backbone. Another way to test for doneness is when the dorsal and pectoral fins pull out easily.
Remove the fish, onions, and potatoes to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm. Cook your eggs any way you please in the fry pan and serve with fish, onions, and potatoes.
How do you cook farmed trout I added rosemary but it still tastes?
I always put butter , onion , pepper, salt and a slice of rasher. Cover is tin foil and in a preheated oven for half an hour.
Reply:It's imprtant, Very important to make sure u clean and gut the trout real well! try not to touch the meat and get the scales all over or your trout will taste fishy, filleting is the best way to go though, fry in butter- mmm the best with fresh lemon! don't forget, KEEP SCALES OFF THE MEAT!
Reply:surely thats a good thing that your trout tastes of something...? Not sure I would add rosemary to trout though - a bit too overpowering perhaps.
Reply:I put some flour and some salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Then I add the cleaned but still whole trout to the bag and give it a good shake.
Then I heat good quality olive oil in a heavy duty cast iron frying pan (le cruetset or something like that) to a depth of a centimetre or so.
Then I take the trout out of the bag and shake it to get ride of any excess flour. Then add to the apn and fry on each side for about 8 minutes depending on the size of the fish. When the skin easily comes away from the meat it is cooked.
Then serve.
Fresh trout will always taste a bit 'soily' that's it's taste. Nothing wrong with it - in fact I enjoy the taste - like jersey potatoes and will sometimes splash out (geddit) on a wild trout just for the extra earthiness.
If you do want to add extra flavourings try ones that complement fish like dill or parsley not rosemary but in my opinion really good, fresh fish needs nothing more than salt, pepper and maybe a squeeze of lemon.
Reply:That is an incomplete sentence.
