Orange Rosemary Iced Tea

Let’s dive into why Orange Rosemary Iced Tea is a standout favorite and how you can easily make it at home.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water

  • 4 black tea bags (or green tea if preferred)

  • 1 large orange, thinly sliced

  • 2–3 fresh rosemary sprigs

  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Boil the Water: Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.

  2. Brew the Tea: Once the water is boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for about 5–7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

  3. Add Rosemary: While the tea is steeping, add the rosemary sprigs to the hot tea to infuse their flavor.

  4. Sweeten: If you’d like your tea a little sweet, stir in honey or maple syrup while the tea is still warm so it dissolves easily.

  5. Cool It Down: Remove the tea bags and rosemary. Let the tea cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least an hour.

  6. Serve: Pour over ice, garnish with fresh orange slices and an extra rosemary sprig for flair, and enjoy!
