Rosemary Lemonade Recipe: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic Summer Drink

Refreshing Rosemary Lemonade

It’s a scorching hot day, and I can’t think of anything better than a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade. But I like to add a twist to a classic recipe, so today I’m sharing my refreshing rosemary lemonade with you all. The aromatic hint of rosemary adds a unique touch to this traditional homemade beverage.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 4 lemons
• 200g granulated sugar
• 1 liter water
• Ice cubes for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• fine mesh strainer
• pitcher

I start by bringing 500ml of water to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, I add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup. I remove the saucepan from the heat and drop in the rosemary sprigs, allowing them to steep and infuse the syrup with their fragrant flavor for about 15 minutes.

While the rosemary syrup is cooling, I juice the lemons to extract around 200ml of fresh lemon juice. In a pitcher, I combine the lemon juice with the remaining 500ml of water. Once the rosemary syrup has cooled to room temperature, I strain out the rosemary sprigs and mix the syrup into the pitcher, stirring well to ensure everything is fully combined.

I fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the rosemary lemonade over the ice. The cool, tangy flavor combined with the herbal undertones of the rosemary is simply divine. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer afternoon, whether you’re lounging in the backyard or hosting a BBQ with friends.
