Equipment

• 1 cutting board

• 1 Small Saucepan

• 1 Measuring Cups

• 1 strainer

• 1 Mason Jar with Lid (or other airtight container)

Ingredients

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup water

Instructions

1. Place the fresh rosemary sprigs on a cutting board and smack them gently two or three times with the bottom of a saucepan or the flat edge of a chef’s knife. Transfer the rosemary to a small saucepan and add the sugar and water.

2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 6 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves completely and the liquid is clear, stirring every so often. Place a tight fitting lid on the pan and remove it from the heat.

3. Let the syrup steep, covered, for 10 minutes, then strain the cooled syrup into an airtight container and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. This will keep, tightly covered, for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
