Very few ingredients come together for a delicious afternoon drink, best enjoyed in a garden, or at least while thinking of one! The rosemary simply syrup keeps well in the fridge if you have extra. - LindsayMaitland —Lindsay Maitland Hunt
Everyone who popped in for a visit on the unseasonably warm Saturday that I tested this recipe helped with the taste test. The verdict was unanimous: This is a fabulously refreshing drink. The rosemary and the lemon rind combine to give the simple syrup a slightly bittersweet, almost piney edge, which is cut beautifully by the lemon juice and as much bubbly water as you desire. I suggest muddling the rosemary leaves a bit before adding them to the syrup to impart a bit more of their flavor. Also, if you have extra rosemary sprigs, they make a nice aromatic garnish for the drink. - cheese1227 —The Editors
