This lemonade has been kicked up a notch with the addition of rosemary simple syrup, sparkling water, and a dash of cream. The result is an herby, fizzy, tangy, yet creamy drink that is perfect for the upcoming summer weather.
In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar, and stir over medium high heat until sugar has melted.
1 cup water, 1 cup sugar
When the sugar-water comes to a simmer, add the rosemary springs and allow to simmer for about a minute.
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Remove from heat and let steep for about thirty minutes.
