Instructions

Make the simple syrup…

In a small pot, over medium heat stir together the sugar, water and rosemary sprigs. Bring to a light simmer allowing the sugar to completely dissolve, approximately 8 minutes. Pull from heat and allow to cool completely. You can leave the rosemary in as it cools, make sure you strain the syrup before using.

Create the Lemonade…

Strain the simple syrup and lemon juice into a large, decorative pitcher, add water and stir well. Add enough ice to chill completely, about 8 cups. Add 1 ½ cups blueberries and 3 large rosemary sprigs and gently stir.
Serve with a rosemary sprig, blueberry and a splash of sparkling water.
