Rosemary Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to a slow boil. Whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and add in sprigs of rosemary. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes.
Strain out rosemary, and pour it into a glass bottle. I keep mine refrigerated and use in mocktails or to sweeten tea!
