Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water and rosemary sprigs and place it over medium heat. Let it come to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and let the rosemary steep in the syrup for around 30 minutes.
  • Balance a wire-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour through the syrup to remove the rosemary. To get the syrup extra clear, next pour it through a cheesecloth of coffee filter.
  • Let it cool down to room temperature, then pour it into an airtight container. Store the simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary only. Dried rosemary has a very different flavor and won't work as well in this recipe.
  • Don't steep longer than 30 minutes, or the syrup may become bitter.
  • This syrup pairs beautifully with citrus and berry flavors.
  • Try it in a salty dog cocktail or a rosemary gimlet.
