Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 large sprigs rosemary - about 1 cup loosely packed rosemary leaves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan add the sugar, water, and rosemary.
  • Stir occasionally over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
  • Cover, and allow syrup to rest overnight so the rosemary can continue infusing the syrup.
  • Remove the rosemary and transfer the syrup to a separate bottle or jar for storage; straining if necessary.
  • Store for up to four weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Substitutions:
Sugar - Instead of using granulated white sugar, you could use demerara sugar. The rosemary flavor might be a little less intense if you go this route. Brown sugar or other sugars are too overpowering in my opinion.
