Steps:
- Bring 6 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Remove from heat and add tea, lemon peel and rosemary. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. If using tea bags, remove them. If using bulk tea, remove lemon peel and rosemary, set aside and strain the mixture and discard the tea leaves. Pour the mixture back in the pot and stir in salt, sugar and the set-aside lemon peel and rosemary. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in the ice, cool to below 50 degrees F. Line a large pot with two 30-gallon plastic garbage bags, one inside the other. Place turkey in the bag-lined pot, breast-side down. Pour brine over turkey; press to submerge. Twist off bags to eliminate air pockets and tie. Refrigerate turkey in brine for 2 days (48 hours).
- Drain turkey, discard brine. Pat turkey dry. Stuff cavity with rosemary, punctured lemons, celery and onion. Fold wing tips under; tie legs. Rub olive oil all over the turkey.
- Place oven rack in the lowest third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place turkey on a rack in large roasting pan. Place bird in oven and roast for 2 hours, then baste with 1/2 cup broth.
- Continue to roast until turkey is brown and thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Basting frequently with the remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and pan juices. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer turkey to a large platter or carving board. Tent loosely with foil. Let stand at least 30 minutes or up to 45 minutes prior to carving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary sprigs yield the most flavorful tea. Look for vibrant green leaves with no signs of wilting or browning.
- Use a quality loose-leaf tea or tea bags: Loose-leaf tea generally provides a richer flavor compared to tea bags, but either option can be used. If using tea bags, opt for high-quality ones made with whole rosemary leaves rather than crushed or powdered rosemary.
- Steep the tea for the recommended time: Over-steeping rosemary tea can result in a bitter taste. Follow the recommended steeping time provided in the recipe or on the tea packaging.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference: Rosemary tea can be enjoyed plain or sweetened. If desired, add honey, sugar, or a natural sweetener like stevia to taste.
- Experiment with different brewing methods: Rosemary tea can be brewed in a variety of ways, including using a teapot, French press, or cold brew method. Experiment to find the brewing method that best suits your taste and lifestyle.
Conclusion:
Rosemary tea is a delicious and versatile herbal tea with a range of potential health benefits. Whether you enjoy it hot or cold, plain or sweetened, rosemary tea is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
