Equipment

  • Tea kettle optional

Ingredients

  • 2-3 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Rinse rosemary and place in a small pot. I find this herb to have a lot of debris and in need of a good rinse before using.
  • Cover with water and place on high heat.
  • Bring it up to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes or more. Simmer for a longer amount of time for a stronger flavor.
  • Take off the heat and remove the sprigs. I like to do this with tongs or a slotted spoon.
  • Pour the herbal tea into a mug and add additional ingredients if desired.

Tea Kettle Method

  • Add water to a tea kettle or saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Place rinsed fresh rosemary sprigs into a mug.
  • Pour hot water into the mug and let it steep for 5-10 minutes.
  • Pull out the leaves, add any additional ingredients if desired.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

  • This tea can have a slightly overwhelming flavor, I highly recommend using the tea kettle method for a lighter flavor. Also, adding a few extras like ginger, honey or lemon to help add additional flavors.
  • Although I use fresh rosemary leaves, dried leaves would also work. Substitute 1 tsp of dried rosemary for fresh rosemary.
  • Can be made hot or cold. Enjoy as a refreshing cold brew tea in the warmer months.
