Let’s dive into the recipe and discover the secret to its irresistible flavor.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh rosemary sprigs

  • Lemons

  • Water

  • Sugar or honey (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by bringing a pot of water to a gentle simmer on the stove.

  2. While the water heats up, thoroughly wash the lemons and rosemary sprigs under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.

  3. Once the water is simmering, add the rosemary sprigs to the pot and allow them to infuse for 5-10 minutes. This will release the fragrant oils and flavors of the rosemary into the water.

  4. While the rosemary infuses, use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract the juice from the lemons. You’ll want enough juice to provide a bright and zesty flavor to the drink.

  5. After the rosemary has infused, remove the pot from the heat and strain out the rosemary sprigs, leaving behind the infused water.

  6. In a pitcher or large bowl, combine the infused rosemary water with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.

  7. If desired, sweeten the drink to taste with sugar or honey, stirring until dissolved. Adjust the sweetness level according to your preference.

  8. Allow the drink to cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill to perfection.

  9. Serve the rosemary and lemon drink over ice, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary or a slice of lemon for an extra touch of elegance.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a drink that’s bursting with flavor and won’t break the bank. Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply looking to treat yourself, this rosemary and lemon delight is sure to impress with its rich taste and refreshing appeal. So why not give it a try and savor the goodness of this budget-friendly beverage? Cheers to deliciousness without the hefty price tag!
