Rosemary Tea
Description
This Rosemary Tea recipe uses fresh rosemary sprigs boiled gently in water to draw out the herb's flavor. Simmering between 1 to 5 minutes allows control over the intensity of the tea, with longer times providing a deeper herbal note. The process is straightforward, requiring no additions beyond water and rosemary, and finishes by straining out the herb. The resulting infusion is clear and fragrant with subtle pine and earthy tones distinctive of rosemary.
The tea can be served hot immediately or chilled for later consumption as a refreshing iced tea. It is often enjoyed on its own, highlighting the natural aroma of fresh rosemary without additional flavorings.
Boiling a larger batch is practical as the tea stores well in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to prepare in advance and enjoy multiple servings over time.
Ingredients
- 2 prigs rosemary fresh
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Combine the rosemary and water in a saucepot, and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and let it gently simmer for 1 to 5 minutes. The longer to simmer it, the more potent the rosemary flavor will be.
- When it's done simmering, use a slotted spoon to remove the rosemary and any leaves that may have fallen off.
- Pour the strained tea into 2 mugs and serve. If you're only cooking for 1, I like to store the other half of the tea in an airtight container in the fridge and serve it as iced tea later! Or you can reheat for a warm beverage.
Notes
- Adjust simmering time to control rosemary flavor intensity from light to more robust.
- Make enough for two servings to have leftovers chilled or reheated later.
- Store any unused tea in an airtight container in the fridge for best freshness.
