LEMON-ROSEMARY TEA
Haven't made this yet, but my rosemary plant has gone berzerk since we redid the herb garden, so I'm saving recipes which will come in handy soon. I'm not big on nor familiar with iced tea and maybe the following is a common practice, but the idea of adding the carbonated drink just before serving sounds WAY refreshing! Chill time (3 hours) is included in time estimate. Recipe courtesy BH&G.

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary. Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary, and it will give your cookies a more pronounced rosemary flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Use a sharp cookie cutter. A sharp cookie cutter will give you clean, crisp edges on your cookies.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown.
