Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan, combine all ingredients. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.

Once cooled, strain the syrup into a sealable container. Yields around 1.25 cups of syrup.

This simple syrup should keep for up to 1 month when kept refridgerated.

Let’s change it up a bit…

You could substitute the rosemary for other fresh herbs for a variety of tastes. Thyme and various mints (spearmint, peppermint, etc) would work nicely.
