Lemonade is a summertime staple, but we can't help but jazz up the ordinary! If rosemary isn't your thing, try basil or thyme - it's all about playing around and having fun with the process! Here's a recipe adapted from A Beautiful Mess:
Rosemary Lemonade
Makes 5-6 servings
5-6 lemons
3-4 sprigs of rosemary
1 cup sugar6 cups water
"In a small pot combine 1 1/2 cups water with 1 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved turn off the heat and throw in a sprig of rosemary. Allow that it sit until the water has cooled. Discard the rosemary sprig.
In the meantime, extract the juice from 5 lemons. You are aiming for 1 cup of lemon juice. You may need an additional lemon, or you may need one less depending on how large your lemons are. In a pitcher combine the lemon juice, sweetened water and the remaining 4 1/2 cups (cold) water. Stir together. Serve over ice, garnished with a few lemon slices and rosemary sprigs."
And if you're feeling extra bold, add a splash of vodka! Let us know if you played around with different herbs!
