I wanted to drink rosemary tea because of the health benefit and I have a rosemary bush in the back of my yard, or better said my neighbor does but it grows over into my yard so I thought I will cut some off and start making rosemary tea. For some reason mine always ends up being bitter unless I put tons of sugar in. Then it's like drinking sugar water because you no longer taste the rosemary.

well here is the procedure for making rosemary tea:
Sun-Brewed Rosemary Tea
4 to 6 tea bags or 4 to 6 teaspoons loose tea
1-1/2 quarts cold water
2 or 3 large rosemary sprigs
Ice
Sugar (optional)
Lemon slices, quartered (optional)
Rosemary sprigs (optional)
Directions
1. For loose tea users, measure tea into a tea ball or a 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth pouch; tie pouch with a string. (Do not use decaffeinated, green or herbal teas.) Place tea in a 2-quart clear glass container.
2. Bruise rosemary sprigs with the back of a spoon; add to the container. Add water to container; cover. Let stand in sunlight or at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. (Keep the container away from combustible material. Sunlight coming through glass and liquid can concentrate a beam of light that could start a fire.) Remove tea ball or bags and rosemary sprigs.
3. Serve sun tea over ice or refrigerate immediately; store up to 24 hours. If desired, serve with sugar and lemon. If desired, garnish each drink with a rosemary sprig. Store in the refrigerator. Makes 5 to 8 (6-ounce) servings

1 litre ginger ale
12 oz frozen pineapple juice

8 cups water
12 tea bags
