Mouth & throat soothers – frozen infusions
These ice granules are a refreshing mouth soother.
Ingredients
- 5 tbsp of equal amounts of fresh rosemary, thyme, marjoram and sage
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves
- 1 l boiling water
Method
- Pour the boiling water over the herb and spice mixture, cover and let infuse for about 10 minutes. Strain and put aside to cool. Pour into a shallow dish and place in the freezer. Stir the mixture with a fork when ice crystals start forming, after about 1 hour. Repeat stirring occasionally until all liquid is frozen and you have a mass of ice crystals / granules. The more often you stir, the finer the granules will be. Store in a lidded plastic container in the freezer.
Variations
Use a camomile infusion and add a small amount of honey while still hot.
