      "There were two silent monks who lived centuries ago at a temple near Baldur's Gate and they shared a loving bond of devotion as great as any offered to the gods. The story goes that when one of the pair lay on the threshold of death, the other gestured for the reaper to sit and take tea. The monk prepared a syrup of rosemary, the herb of remembrance. He brewed two cups of green tea and set them on the doorstep on a chilly morning to slowly steep and develop flavor. The monk used this time to cherish the last hours of his beloved friend's life and to set firm in his memory all that he loved about him. He and the reaper drank together in quiet contemplation, enjoying the sweetness of honey, the savor of rosemary, and the vivacity of green tea. This drink is now served at the Hissing Stones and always enjoyed in silent remembrance."

    "This drink utilizes a cold brew method for extracting the tea. While this process does take more time, the results are worth the wait. With some patience, you'll be left with a smooth and balanced tea with less bitterness."

    "In a heatproof glass measuring cup, using a muddler, lightly bruise the rosemary to release aroma from the leaves. Add the tea bags to the measuring cup. Set aside.",
    "Into a carafe or small pitcher, pour 2½ cups of water and set aside.",
    "In a small saucepan, bring the remaining ½ cup of water to a boil over high heat. Stir the honey into the boiling water and remove the pan from the heat. Pour the hot water over the rosemary and tea bag. Let sit for 30 seconds and pour the entire contents of the measuring cup into the carafe. Stir to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator and let steep 4 to 8 hours, until your desired strength is reached. Strain and stir in the rose water, if using. Divide between two highball glasses and serve over ice."
