Rosemary Grapefruit Iced Tea

Tart pink grapefruit juice and aromatic fresh rosemary over a light black tea base. Bittersweet, herbaceous, and surprisingly sophisticated — the iced tea for people who think they don't like iced tea.

Rosemary Grapefruit Iced Tea

Instructions

  1. 1

    Steep the tea bags and rosemary sprigs together in boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags but leave the rosemary in.

  2. 2

    Stir in the honey while the tea is still hot. Let cool with the rosemary still steeping.

  3. 3

    Once cool, remove the rosemary sprigs. Add the cold water and grapefruit juice. Stir well.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust sweetness — grapefruit bitterness varies significantly between fruits.

  5. 5

    Refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice with a grapefruit slice and a fresh rosemary sprig.

Pro tip

Pink grapefruit is sweeter and less bitter than white grapefruit — use whichever suits your taste. The rosemary flavour intensifies as it steeps; remove it earlier for a subtler herbal note. A pinch of flaky sea salt on the rim of the glass amplifies the grapefruit flavour beautifully.
