Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 4 Lemons
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 5 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (for garnish)
- 6 Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, the granulated sugar, and the rosemary sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the rosemary to infuse. Remove from heat, discard the rosemary sprigs, and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
While the syrup cools, juice the lemons. Strain the juice into a large pitcher to remove seeds or pulp.
Add the fresh raspberries to the pitcher and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices and flavors.
Once the rosemary syrup has cooled, pour it into the pitcher along with the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the rosemary raspberry lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a couple of whole raspberries for an extra touch of beauty.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, herbal, and fruity drink!
