Note
Store the blended herbs in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness and aroma.
This blend makes a wonderful homemade gift. Pack it in decorative tea canisters, jars with infuser balls, or self-sealing tea bags. Include a card with the steeping instructions for your guests.
For a stronger flavor, you can increase the steeping time to 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to over-steep rosemary as it can become bitter.
While honey is suggested for sweetness, you can also add a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick for variation.
