Rosemary Lemonade
Description
This Rosemary Lemonade recipe begins by creating a rosemary simple syrup, where equal parts sugar and water are combined with fresh rosemary sprigs and heated to boiling, then simmered briefly to infuse the herb's flavor. Once cooled and strained, the syrup retains a subtle, aromatic rosemary essence. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is combined with water to dilute and balance the tartness, then sweetened by adding the chilled rosemary syrup in measured amounts to taste.
The lemonade is thoroughly chilled without ice initially, ensuring the final mixture is balanced and not oversweetened. Serving the drink over ice with a lemon wheel and rosemary sprig garnish adds visual appeal and refreshment. This lemonade offers a delicate herbal twist on a classic citrus beverage.
