This rosemary lemonade is one of my favorite drinks to make. It goes really well as a martini, too! Vodka and a little rosemary sprig. Cafe Flora also makes a cranberry-ginger cider (cringer) and the two mix well.

Rosemary Lemonade

From "The Cafe Flora Cookbook".
Makes 2 quarts

1 1-ounce bunch of rosemary, about 8 6-inch sprigs
4 cups water, plus more as needed
1 cup sugar

In a saucepan, cover the rosemary with the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the rosemary water into a 2-quart pitcher, and dissolve the sugar in the hot rosemary water. Set aside to cool.

When the rosemary tea is cool, add:

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
Enough water to make 2 quarts

Serve chilled.

Note: This recipe is awesome with limes as well. Even better: Rosemary limeade with whiskey.
