Rosemary Orange Tisane Recipes

Steps:

• Boil all ingredients together in a 1-quart heavy saucepan until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Cool to warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Place oranges cut-side up on a plate and sprinkle rosemary on top, pressing it into oranges so it adheres. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• On a grill or stovetop, put a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on surface. Spread remaining 1/4 cup sugar in skillet and when it starts to caramelize place oranges, cut-side down, on sugar. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes, not moving oranges, so cut side burns nicely and oranges soften.
• To serve, place 2 orange halves in bowl with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and drizzle with burnt sugar juices from skillet.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add orange juice, honey, oil, rosemary, salt, orange zest and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Roll into a 15x1-in. rectangle. Starting at a short end, roll up jelly-roll style. Pinch edges to seal and shape into an oval. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes., Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Whisk egg white; brush over loaf. Place small sprigs of rosemary and peppercorns on top if desired. Bake 25 minutes longer or until browned. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Place the rosemary, orange peel and cloves in a large teapot or heatproof jug. Pour over the boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to infuse.
• Divide the honey among teacups. Strain the tisane among the cups. Add a strip of orange rind and an extra rosemary sprig to each cup to serve.

Steps:

• place the herbs and orange in teapot.
• Pour in boiling water and steep for 5 minutes.
• Strain.
• Consume immediately.
• If using the cranberries add to the water when you boil it and boil for 5 minutes before pouring into tea pot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
• Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
• To make the buttercream filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Peel and cut out segments of an orange with a knife, then set aside for the decoration. Squeeze the juice from what's left and add to the butter cream.
• Bring the juice of another orange, the caster sugar and the sprigs of rosemary to the boil in a small saucepan. Strain the syrup over the tops of the warm sponges - reserving the rosemary, cool, then sandwich together with the buttercream.
• Decorate the cake with the orange segments and candied rosemary. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Steps:

• At least 6 hours before you plan to ice the cake, prepare the crystallized rosemary: Brush rosemary on all sides with a little of the egg white and then dip it in the sugar, so the needles are lightly coated on all sides. Set aside on a wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining rosemary.
• Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit/160 degrees Celsius. Generously grease a 9-inch/23-centimeter Bundt pan with half the butter and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Butter again, generously, and then flour it, tapping away the excess.
• Put olive oil, superfine sugar, orange zest and chopped rosemary leaves in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until combined, then add eggs, one at a time. Whisk for another minute, until thick, then add sour cream and mix until combined on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the whisk.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a small bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the olive oil mixture and mix until combined. Increase speed to high and whisk for 1 minute.
• Scrape batter into the Bundt pan and smooth the top with a small spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. (You may want to trim the cake at this stage, if it rises unevenly, to allow it to sit flat on the plate.)
• Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. When the cake has cooled, drizzle icing on top, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake, then top with the crystallized rosemary and serve.
