Dried Rosemary
Dried or fresh leaves may be used to flavour poultry, fish, lamb, pork, beef, veal, casseroles, tomatoes, mushrooms, rice, cheese, eggs, potatoes, vinegars and herbal butters. If you find the leaves somewhat tough, then infuse them in a little warm water and add the liquid rather than a branch.
The aromatic oil is added to soaps, creams, lotions, perfumes and toilet water. Use the leaves in sachets and pot pourris. Use an infusion in the final rinse of a hair wash, especially if you have dark hair, to make it shine. Scatter the stems on a barbecue to discourage insects.
