Rosemary syrup

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 50 g rosemary needles, fresh
• 600 ml water
• 1 large organic lemon(s)
• 250 g sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

for cocktails or mixed with mineral water

Wash the rosemary needles and drain well. Slice the lemon. Simmer both in 600 ml of water over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Then strain through a sieve. Add the sugar to the rosemary water and simmer for another 30 minutes, tilting the lid slightly during the last 10 minutes to allow the syrup to reduce slightly. Pour the syrup into sterilized jars or bottles while it’s still hot. You can mix the syrup with mineral water, sparkling wine, or even gin. I like a mixture of 2 cl of syrup, 2 cl of gin, and a dash of tonic water.
