🧂 Ingredients

½ cup water
3 tablespoons dried rosemary
½ cup sugar
4-5 fresh or frozen blackberries
Juice from ½ a lemon

about 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon rosemary simple syrup
Sparkling water or tonic water
Lemon slices and fresh rosemary sprig

for garnish

Instructions

1 In a small saucepan with lid, combine the water and the rosemary. Cover with lid
and heat slowly over medium heat until simmering. Reduce heat and allow to
simmer for 10 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow to steep for another
30 minutes.
2 Place a small fine mesh strainer over a heat-proof bowl or measuring cup and
strain the rosemary-infused liquid. Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid from
the rosemary leaves as possible so you don’t leave behind any of the herbal
goodness.
3 Return the infused water to the saucepan and add the sugar. Heat over medium-low
heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4 Remove from heat and let cool before storing in an airtight container for up to
2 weeks.
5 Place blackberries, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup in the bottom of a
glass. Smash everything well with a muddler or the back of a spoon.
6 Fill glass with crushed ice, then top with sparkling water or tonic water.
Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary.
