Rosemary and Orange Rimming Sugar

Susan @ The James Street Home
Sweet and bitter, this rimming sugar is excellent to pair with a sweet and mildly tangy drink such as an apple cider mocktail.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 3 medium oranges about 2 tablespoons, lightly packed
  • 2 teaspoon FINELY chopped rosemary about 2 Tablespoons of lightly packed rosemary leaves

Instructions
 

  • Add sugar, finely chopped rosemary, and orange zest to a bowl, stir until combined.
  • Use immediately, or store in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
  • COVER TIGHTLY if not using immediately.

Notes

The rosemary should be chopped until it resembles coarsely ground black pepper. 
Zest just the outside of the oranges so you only remove the very outside layer of the peel. 
I recommend zesting the oranges directly into the sugar if possible. That way less of the orange oil gets lost on a cutting board or bowl. It’ll go right into the sugar.
It is important to cover the sugar in an airtight container if not using immediately.
