Fresh Rosemary Simple Syrup for Cocktails (and more!)
This Fresh Rosemary Simple Syrup is made by simmering sugar, water, and fresh rosemary sprigs until the sugar dissolves and the herb's aroma infuses the liquid. After a resting period to deepen flavor, the syrup is strained and refrigerated. It lends a subtle herbal note to cocktails and other beverages, sweetening them with a fragrant twist from rosemary.

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 6-8 rosemary approximately 5 inches each, sprigs
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and rosemary springs to a simmer until sugar is dissolved, then simmer for one to two additional minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour. The longer it sits the more flavorful it will be!
- Strain the liquid into an airtight container to remove any particles and rosemary leaves. Store in an airtight container - like a glass jar - in the fridge. It should last for 3-4 weeks if stored properly.

Notes
- Yield is about 1.5 cups of syrup; use as needed in cocktails and beverages.
- Store in a clean, airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
- Do not add water or other liquids to extend the syrup, as this promotes mold and spoilage.
- If mold forms, discard syrup and prepare a new batch to ensure safety.
