A herbal citrus syrup that can add that extra special something to a drink or dessert.

When you are handcuffed to basic drinks, due to dietary restrictions, you need to branch out. A person can only drink so many vodka/gin & soda’s. I started thinking about different flavor profiles that I’ve seen and flavors that I like, which is when I came up with the idea of making a lemon and rosemary simple syrup. I wouldn’t say that this is unique, however I would say it is something I hadn’t made before. I figured it would be great in a cocktail or even just to add flavor to a bubbly drink. Boy, was I right.

Serve it in:

• Vanilla Cake
• Club Soda
• Martini
• Vanilla Ice Cream

What you need:

• Pot and Wooden Spoon
• Air Tight Container
• Mesh Strainer
• Water
• Sugar
• Lemon
• Rosemary

The Syrup

First thing to do, is wash your lemon under cold water and pat dry. Next, peel the entire lemon rind and reserve. Make sure you that when you are peeling the lemon, you are only getting the bright yellow skin, not the white pith. Get the water on the stovetop and bring it to a boil. Add the sugar, rosemary and lemon rind. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 20 minutes. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the water into air tight container. You now have delicious lemon rosemary simple syrup.
