Rosemary Lemonade
1 quart water
1/4 cup fresh or 1/8 cup dry rosemary leaves
3 medium-sized lemons
1/4 to 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup or brown sugar
1 cup fresh or frozen berries (any berries you like)
Ice cubes
Pour 1 quart of boiling water over the herbs and let steep for up to ten minutes.
Slice the lemons while the herbs steep.
Strain the herbs out of the water.
Add the lemon to the herbal infusion, along with your chosen sweetener.
Allow at least 20 minutes before you serve.
Then serve with lots of ice and finally add the berries.
This is unusual, tasty and refreshing. Rosemary livens the senses and is said to stimulate the mind. Use at your next party if conversation begin to flag!
