How to use rosemary lemonade
There are 2 options:
1. Make it with sparkling water
The lemonade can simply be poured in a glass and drunk.
2. Use it as part of a cocktail
Alternatively you can use the lemonade syrup when removed from the fridge (before water is added) as part of a cocktail. For example blended with gin and tonic.
2 items that make a difference
1. Fresh rosemary
Fresh rosemary adds real flavour to many recipes, like the lemon and rosemary lemonade recipe.
However…
Even ‘fresh’ rosemary from supermarkets doesn’t taste as good as homegrown rosemary.
Where you simply cut the sprigs you need from the plant.
Rosemary is very easy to grow at home – for more details have a look at the Tuscan Blue rosemary page
2. A drinks dispenser
When blending (& serving) the lemonade I’ve found a drinks dispenser with a tap very useful.
Drinks dispensers come in different sizes and shapes.
For example the one on the right is 3.5 Litres and contains a steel tap which makes serving drinks very easy.
