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.
