Rosemary Coffee Benefits
- 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).
See my list of the best organic coffee brands.
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.
Step Three
Serve your coffee and enjoy hot!

Recipe FAQs
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.
Yes, absolutely!
Yes, you can. I would recommend using 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary leaves per batch.

Trying this by accident this morning. Make coffee right below a rosemary plant, some leaves fell in.
Ha ha ha! Well what do you think? Worth actually putting some rosemary in next time?
I would really like to try this but I have a coffee maker that only uses “pods”. How would I go about making the rosemary coffee with it?
I don’t think it would work with the pods.
I saw a different article on rosemary in coffee that said to use a fresh sprig, let it soak for a minute or two in your hot coffee, stir it around then remove. That should work for you.
that would work too!
This is such an easy superfood recipe.
I love this
I am just getting used to drink my coffee without milk, I tried cinnamon before and heard of nutmeg in the coffee. Will try with dried Rosemary as I killed every single plant I tried to overwinter, guess my green thumb just works outside!
What an interesting addition to kick up the feeling of coffee! Have you tried using other herbs aside from rosemary? 🙂
I haven’t, Nicky, but a few people have suggested flavors like cinnamon or cocoa! 🙂
Such a pretty photo of you!! 🙂 I love this idea, lovely!!
XOXO, Megan.
I enjoy a morning cup of coffee, and now it’s just black. I used to load it up with sugar and milk, and now when I taste coffee like that I can’t drink it.
Very interesting idea! I am not a coffee drinker, but I love rosemary. I imagine it smells amazing.
What an interesting way to add flavor to coffee ! I’ll definitely try it. FUN !
