aromatic when gently rubbed.
Don’t use too much. Rosemary is powerful. More herb does not necessarily create a better cup.
Cover the tea while steeping. This helps retain more of its characteristic aroma.
Start with five minutes. You can always make the next cup stronger.
Use fresh water. Good water makes a noticeable difference in simple herbal infusions.
Add sweetness gradually. Too much honey can overwhelm rosemary’s interesting herbal flavor.
Drink it fresh. The aroma is at its most appealing shortly after brewing.
Rosemary Lemon Tea
Lemon is one of the easiest additions to rosemary tea because its bright acidity contrasts nicely with rosemary’s woody character.
Prepare the basic tea and strain it. Then add 1–2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and, if desired, a thin lemon slice.
For a slightly sweeter version, add a small amount of honey.
