Rosemary infused lemonade just might be the perfect spring drink.
Because rosemary and lemons truly are best friends.
The perfect spring drink for your Easter dinner just might be this lemonade infused with rosemary.
I love infusing lemonade with unique flavors. I crave this Blueberry Mint Lemonade, for example.
The surprising thing about this lemonade is that you smell the rosemary first before you taste it – as you lift a glass to your mouth you smell the lemon and the rosemary.
This is as easy as steeping some rosemary in simple syrup and then adding lemon juice, ice and a sprig of rosemary for extra pizzazz. Who needs little paper umbrellas when you can have real herbs as a twizzle stick?
ROSEMARY INFUSED LEMONADE

Bring the 1 cup of water and the sugar to a boil. Turn off heat and add 2 sprigs rosemary and the lemon zest. Let steep – and cool to room temperature.
