So much so that many folks don't know our summers tend to be sunny, dry, and mild for weeks at a time! For now, however, the fog can serve as a metaphor for one's mental state: clogged, foggy, and settled in a drizzly haze. I created this tea for an afternoon pick-me-up on those days when my focus starts to wane, but it works well as a non-caffienated jumpstart to a groggy morning, too. You may not think of [Rosemary](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/rosemary-leaf/profile) as a tea ingredient, but it makes a lovely tea. For fun, you might want to substitute a Tablespoon of fresh rosemary for the dried herb in this recipe, if you really want to experience the piney, gardeny flavor. ##### [![rosemary](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/rosemary-1.jpg?width=450&height=199&name=rosemary-1.jpg)](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/rosemary-1.jpg?hsLang=en-us) ## Fog-lifter Tea Recipe - 1 teaspoon organic [Nettle leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/nettle-leaf/profile) - 1 teaspoon organic [Spearmint leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/spearmint/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Orange Peel](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/peel/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Rosemary leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/rosemary-leaf/profile) Combine the herbs in a tea infuser, nest, strainer, or bag and pour 1-2 cups of boiling water over. Allow to steep for 3-4 minutes. Feel free to add honey and/or lemon, if you'd like. This tea is also good cold or multiply the ingredients for a [tasty infusion](http://mountainroseblog.com/sunday-steep-43/). *Originally posted as a part of the "Sunday Steep" series. * --- Topics: [Recipes](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/recipes), [Tea & Herbal Drinks](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/tea-herbal-drinks) ![The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Passionflower.jpg) ### Written by [The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/author/friends) on February 22, 2015 Over the last three decades, the Mountain Rose Herbs Team has created and recreated thousands of recipes.
