From the winter solstice to the Ides of March, I love how fresh citrus peel and herbaceous pine-scented rosemary pair up as the dynamic duo of winter revelry.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Peeled zest of 1 lemon (be sure the peel has no white pith)
Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stir in sugar to dissolve, remove from heat, add rosemary and lemon zest and let rest for 1 hour. Fine strain, discard solids and funnel into a clean bottle or Mason jar. Label, date and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
