Lisbeth is very croaky today and still not really able to do much. She is drinking many mugs of a browny-greenish-coloured liquid: an infusion of water and rosemary. She was given the herb by Madame Sage who told her that it is really good for the throat. Many of the old French people still make up simple infusions for self-medication. I think it looks horrid, but Lisbeth says it is surprisingly pleasant.
Ingredients for one day's worth of infusions:
One small bunch of rosemary (about the size of three fingers in circumference)
I litre of water
Method:
Bring the water to the boil and add the rosemary.
Boil for 10 minutes and strain into a jug
To Drink:
Pour hot liquid into a mug or cup (it may need straining again)
Stir in honey to taste
