Someone expecting a sweet fruit tea may find the first sip surprising.
The easiest way to make rosemary tea more approachable is not necessarily to add lots of sugar. Instead, reduce the steeping time and add a little fresh lemon.
Once
you’ve found the right concentration, the tea can be pleasantly aromatic rather than overpowering.
What to Serve With Rosemary Tea

Can Rosemary Tea Be Prepared Ahead?
Yes, although freshly prepared tea provides the best aroma.
If you want several servings, make a larger batch using the same basic proportions, strain it, allow it to cool appropriately, and transfer it to a clean covered container in the refrigerator.
