Instructions

  • Add the sugar, water, and rosemary sprigs to a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let the rosemary steep for about 30 minutes as the syrup cools. Once it’s cooled, remove the rosemary.

Notes

Let the rosemary steep a little longer in the syrup if you want a stronger herbal flavor.
