Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 bag Black tea bag (optional, for a stronger flavor)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
While the water is heating, rinse the fresh rosemary sprigs under cold water to remove any dirt.
Slice the lemon in half. From one half, cut thin slices for garnish and set them aside. Squeeze the juice from the other half into a small bowl or directly into the saucepan.
Once the water has boiled, reduce the heat to low and add the rosemary sprigs and lemon juice to the saucepan. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
If you’d like a stronger tea, add one black tea bag to the saucepan and steep it for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the rosemary sprigs and tea bag (if used).
Pour the tea into two cups through a fine mesh strainer to remove any rosemary leaves or pulp.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey into each cup if desired for sweetness. Adjust to taste.
Garnish each cup with a lemon slice and serve hot. Enjoy your Lemon Rosemary Tea!
