Ingredients

  • 2-3 Tablespoons ground coffee
  • 4-8 oz. water
  • rosemary extract, fresh, or dried
  • simple syrup to taste

Instructions

Infuse Fresh Rosemary Into Milk

  • Start by heating up your choice of milk and add a few fresh rosemary sprigs to it, then allow the mixture to steep for about 15 minutes. After the infusion is complete, strain the milk and use it in your favorite coffee recipes like lattes or iced coffee. Rosemary milk will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Make Rosemary Simple Syrup

  • First, make your coffee as desired. Then in a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water, along with a few fresh rosemary sprigs. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves, then leave the mixture to infuse off the heat for about 10 minutes.
  • When the syrup has cooled, strain it through a wire mesh strainer and store it in a glass jar or bottle. For some herbal sweetness, add 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup to your cold brew or decaffeinated coffee such as a rosemary iced latte.

Add Dried Rosemary to Espresso Grounds

  • If you're an espresso lover, try adding dried rosemary leaves to the espresso grounds before brewing. Use about a tablespoon of chopped, dried rosemary leaves for every two cups of espresso grounds (try mixing this ahead of time and keeping it in your freezer or on the countertop).
  • This method will add a subtle rosemary flavor to your espresso shots that can be enjoyed alone or in a delightful rosemary-infused latte recipe.

Add Fresh or Dried Rosemary to Coffee Grounds

  • Add fresh rosemary to your coffee grounds for a refreshing twist to your morning brew. Simply place 5-7 fresh or dried rosemary leaves in your coffee maker or French press along with your coffee grounds, and allow the flavors to blend as the coffee brews.
  • The longer you steep the coffee and the more rosemary you add, the stronger the taste will be. Let it steep for at least 3 minutes, then plunge and serve with your desired amount of sugar and cream. This technique is ideal for both hot and iced coffee recipes.

Flavor With Food-Grade Rosemary Oil

  • For a concentrated boost of rosemary flavor, use food-grade rosemary essential oil. Add one or two drops of the oil to your coffee or latte, ensuring that it's thoroughly mixed.
