It’s such an easy coffee hack that tastes amazing too!
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.

I will definitely have to try out this rosemary coffee! I do enjoy my caffeine and I can only imagine the original flavors this coffee would produce. Well done!
I couldn’t love this idea more! I would never have thought of adding rosemary to coffee but now that you have put this out there, what a delightful way to start the day. Brilliant!
Ps.. I too was diagnosis with thyroid cancer so I feel you journey… <3 .. Stay strong and keep moving forward
I am a coffee drinker too. I did give it up for the 21 Day Elimination Diet that I did. I added it back without any ill effects. I drink mine black so maybe a sprig of rosemary would be an interesting addition. I am for anything that may aid in the prevention of cancer. Both my parents died from 2 different types. I have been reading your blog since it was Carrie On Vegan. It has been a wonderful source of information. I am vegetarian that leans toward vegan in hopes of becoming well. I have inflammation, joint pain & Hashimoto’s. The hypothyroidism has been a bear to deal with. Keeping eating as wholesome as possible has improved symptoms. I am working on healing my belly as it is said to be well, you have to heal your gut. I have leaky gut & my last testing shows zero flora. Glad to hear you’re finding your health. I am working on mine in hopes of regaining optimal health.
I have never had rosemary with coffee… but that is going to change soon!
I’m glad to hear your health issues are improving and am with you on the balanced approach to eating! I have always liked rosemary so definitely want to try it in my coffee – maybe a rosemary latte?!
Thanks, Kathryn! A rosemary latte sounds delish!!!
Thanks for sharing your health journey with us! I am battling a host of symptoms (colitis, tachycardia, arthritis, fluid in my ears, hair loss) that seem related. I’ve started thyroid therapy, but thus far, I’ve seen no improvement. I have for nearly 40 years (I’m 58) taken the “balanced” approach, but have been looking at paleo and keto after my physical therapist recommended them. I’m going for a month in Peru in June (2nd time), and hoping to be stronger!
I too am a coffee drinker, and I’ve cut back on the caffeine substantially because of the tachycardia. I do love a cup in the morning, and I can’t wait to add a sprig of rosemary! I’ve got some planted in my garden!
Thanks for sharing that, Tamara. How long have you been on thyroid hormones? Are you taking a combination of T3 and T4?
I usually have a huge bush of rosemary growing on the yard over the summer and this is going to be part of my morning fix! Thanks!
Firstly, I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues, and I hope you are felling better and are on the way to speedy recovery! Secondly, this is such an interesting recipe, I would never think of using rosemary in the coffee, and I’m really intrigued by it now. As I love both, coffee and rosemary, I will be giving this a go soon!
Wow I absolutely love this idea. I’m going to tell my husband and mother about it because I think they’d want to try this as well. I’m really sorry to hear about your health issues in the past, but I’m hoping things continue positively for you. <3
Thanks, Dominique! I’d love to know what your hubby and mom think about the rosemary coffee. XO.
Great tip to add rosemary. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite simple upgrades.
