Method 1 – rosemary tea

  • Place rosemary in a large enough mason jar, a bowl or a saucepan and add water.
  • Steep rosemary for at least 5 or up to 12 hours (maybe even a few hours longer, or simply overnight, if you like).
  • Strain rosemary infusion. You can pour the infusion into a spray bottle or a jar.

Storage

  • Keep the rosemary water in the fridge for up to 7 days (or until it smells off).
    You can also freeze it in batches and thaw it whenever you need it.
