Strawberry-Rosemary Lemonade

Ingredients

1 cup Water

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Sugar

1 1/2 cups cold water

Juice the lemons until you have 2 cups of fresh lemon juice.

Set aside.

Add 1 cup of water, as well as 1/2 cup of sugar to a small saucepan and heat to boiling.

While water is boiling add 3-4 sprigs of rosemary.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Clean and hull the strawberries, and slice into quarters.

Place strawberries in a food processor, add 1/2 cup of sugar, and mix until thoroughly pureed.

Add 1/2 cup of water and puree alittle more.

Pour the strawberry puree in a large pitcher, and add remaining 1 cup of cold water.

Mix together with a spoon.

Add the lemon juice and cooled sugar water, and mix well.

You can either scoop out the rosemary sprigs at this point in time, or leave them in.

I usually leave them in, so more of the oils will be released into the lemonade.

When serving add ice cubes to a glass, pour in the lemonade, and garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.
