Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 0.75 cups Sugar
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 5 large Lemons
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 cups Cold water or sparkling water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and 0.75 cups of sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves to form a simple syrup, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the rosemary sprigs to the saucepan. Turn off the heat and let the syrup infuse for 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the syrup is infusing, juice the lemons to yield about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. You may strain the juice if you prefer a pulp-free lemonade.
Step 4
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the syrup and allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it briefly in the refrigerator.
Step 5
In a large pitcher, combine the rosemary-infused simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and 4 cups of cold water or sparkling water.
Step 6
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses to keep the lemonade chilled.
Step 7
Give the mixture a good stir, taste, and adjust with more water or lemon juice if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs or lemon slices for a decorative touch, if desired.
