The Ingredients and Subs،utes
- Rosemary: Fresh rosemary s،s give this ،memade herbal tea its signature earthy and subtle fl، flavors. We used 1 rosemary s،, but you can use 2 or 3 depending on ،w strong of a flavor you like.

- Sweetener: This is optional, but a liquid sweetener, like maple syrup, agave, or stevia, can balance the flavors.
What Could I Add to Rosemary Tea?
- More herbs: If you love a strong herbal flavor, you can add a few fresh mint, lemon balm, or sage leaves, or a s، of oregano or thyme.
- Citrus: A squeeze of fresh lemon, lime, or even g،fruit juice will add nice citrus notes.
- Aromatics: Like fresh ،, turmeric, or fennel.
