How to Make Rosemary Coffee
Supercharge your morning cup of coffee with the addition of fresh rosemary. This easy upgrade can benefit your memory and health!
You’ll never believe how easy it is to make this rosemary coffee. You really just need a sprig of fresh rosemary that will infuse the coffee as the hot water runs over it.
Rosemary itself is a superfood. It contained the antioxidants caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid, as well as other nutritional benefits. Rosemary has also been studied for its ability to increase memory.
For this recipe, I generally use fresh rosemary, but you can also use dried rosemary leaves. And, to be clear, you don’t actually consume any rosemary in this recipe, but the oils from the rosemary get released as the hot water runs over it, infusing the coffee with rosemary flavor.
Recipe Steps
This is a very easy coffee recipe that is a great way to add extra nutrition to your morning cup of joe.
Step One
To start, just place a fresh sprig at the bottom of your coffee filter. Then, add your ground coffee (I recommend always using fair-trade, organic coffee beans that you grind yourself).
Step Two
Then, just run your coffee maker as usual. You can also do this using a coffee press. You can discard the sprig of fresh rosemary after you have made your coffee.

This health upgrade couldn’t be easier! I’m sure you’re wondering how this Rosemary Coffee tastes? I wasn’t sure if it would be too strong even though I love the flavor and odor of rosemary. You can definitely taste it, but it’s a mild flavor, as if you added a few drops of a flavor extract. But, this flavor is 100% real and healthy and awesome.
Can you use decaffeinated coffee for this recipe?
Yes, absolutely!
Can I use dried rosemary for this recipe?
Yes, you can. I would recommend using 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary leaves per batch.

What a well written post!!! I am so sorry that you had to deal with thyroid cancer AND online jerks!!! I support you in however you want to eat, it’s your body- your decision. Right!?

I totally would not have thought to pair rosemary with coffee! I mean I do use rosemary whenever given the chance and have 2 plants on my windowsill, as we speak. But, coffee!?? I am totally giving this a try in the morning!

Beth, right?! Try it, LMK what you think!!!
I’ve actually just started being able to tolerate coffee after years of reacting to it. So nice to be able to enjoy it in the morning!
I never thought to put rosemary in coffee!! I too love the ritual of it, as well as the boost it gives me.

I love rosemary but have never thought of it in my coffee! This is a very informative post! Thanks for that. On the health note – I do have marginal hypo thyroid and I understand the fatigue part. I hope you are doing better now.
Thanks for sharing your health story, and I’m glad you have found something you are able to enjoy. I am an avid coffee drinker and will be trying some rosemary with it soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. As a fellow Cancer survivor, I completely understand the bullying mentality of how we need to be vegan or vegetarian. I too was a vegetarian and occasional vegan before my Cancer diagnosis but am now on paleo keto as a preventive. I can’t wait to try out your rosemary coffee !

First of all, I enjoyed reading your story. It’s nice to get to know you better.
I also enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, so it’s great to have your blessing on it. I have sometimes wondered if I should give it up, because I struggle with leaky gut issues. I’ve heard that coffee is hard on the stomach. I really like my coffee, though. So, I figure that if I do everything else right to help my gut, maybe one cup of coffee won’t hurt.
I’ve been enjoying rosemary in lots of dishes lately, too, but never would have thought to put it in coffee! I’ll have to try this!
