Rosemary simple syrup

Thanks, Braden, for this idea.

Rosemary simple syrup:
Add 1 C. sugar (white works better than raw)
to 1. C water
and add 6 fresh rosemary sprigs (rinsed)

Bring to a boil & dissolve sugar into water. Let simmer for another minute or so. Then take the pot off the burner and let it sit for a good 20 minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs and any stray rosemary.







I used this to make rosemary lemonade for summer beer. I wish I could give you the recipe, but I was eyeballing. Something like the juice from 10 lemons with some of the pulp, maybe 1/4 cup of this rosemary simple syrup (more to taste?) and a 1/4C - 1/2 C water (or you can use 3/4 can of lemon sparkling water), almost all of a Corona Light and a 1/2 C. vodka or so. Just mix these things, adding more of some stuff or other until it tastes good. :) Oh, and serve over ice.
