Rosemary Lemon Iced Tea is the perfect way to beat the heat this summer! With just 4 easy ingredients and minimal hands on time you will be making it over and over and over again!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup sugar (see post for details)
- 2 lemons
- 1 large sprig of rosemary (about 6-8 inches long)
- 4 Earl Grey tea bags
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the yellow part of the lemons. Be careful not to get too much of the white pith, as it is bitter. Reserve remaining peeled lemons.
- Place water, sugar, and lemon peels into a small pot and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat. Place rosemary and tea bags into the pot and cover with a lid. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and strain the tea mixture, removing tea bags, lemon peels, and rosemary. Do not squeeze the tea bags, as this can make it bitter.
- Juice the remaining peeled lemons and add the lemon juice to the tea mixture.
- Stir and chill. Serve over ice.
