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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
While the water is heating, rinse the fresh rosemary sprigs under cold water to remove any dirt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the rosemary sprigs and tea bag (if used).
Step 7
Pour the tea into two cups through a fine mesh strainer to remove any rosemary leaves or pulp.
Step 8
Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey into each cup if desired for sweetness. Adjust to taste.
Step 9
Garnish each cup with a lemon slice and serve hot. Enjoy your Lemon Rosemary Tea!
