Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Boil the rosemary: Combine the rosemary sprigs and water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer the tea: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture gently simmer for 1 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you want the rosemary flavor.
- Strain the tea: Use a slotted spoon to remove the rosemary sprigs and any loose leaves from the tea.
- Serve: Pour the strained tea into 2 mugs and enjoy immediately. For leftovers, store the tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for iced tea later, or reheat for a warm drink.
Notes
- The simmering time affects the strength of the flavor; 1 minute yields a mild taste, while 5 minutes results in a more potent brew.
- Fresh rosemary is preferred for the best aroma and flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted (use about 1 tablespoon dried).
- Leftover tea can be chilled and served over ice for a refreshing iced rosemary tea.
- Optional: Add honey or lemon for added flavor if desired.
