Fresh Ingredients

Water – You need 2 cups of room temperature water to prepare the syrup.

Fine white sugar – I usually avoid white sugar in my cooking, but it’s essential for this recipe. I tried using honey, maple, and agave syrup, but they changed the flavor too much. Don’t worry, though—you’ll only be using a little bit of this syrup in your drinks, so it’s all good.

Pinch of salt – Always balance the sweetness with a pinch of salt, it does miracles.

Fresh rosemary – Wash the rosemary and keep the leaves on the steam. I grow my own rosemary in the garden, and it brings me so much pride and joy. Crush it a bit to release those flavours.

Lemon peel – Just a slice for extra flavour.

I recommend you add a lemon peel and fresh rosemary in the jar where your syrup is stored for better results. Also, it looks beautiful when displayed (as a bonus).
