Rosemary Clear

A pine-bright cup for a foggy head.

Rosemary tea is strong. A small sprig, a short steep, and you have a cup people traditionally drink when the head feels thick or the desk feels far away.

Ingredients

1 cup

  • Fresh rosemary · or ½ tsp dried1 small sprig

Method

  1. 1

    Steep 4–6 minutes. Longer turns medicinal and harsh.

  2. 2

    Strain. A strip of lemon peel is welcome.

Why this cup

  • An aromatic cup for a dull, tight head
  • Also a focus tea if you keep it weak
  • One sprig is enough

Go gently

  • Culinary amounts only. Skip strong rosemary tea in pregnancy.
  • Can feel stimulating — a poor bedtime cup.
  • Essential oil is not for drinking.
