Rosemary Simple Syrup Recipe

0 Combine the water and the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until all of the sugar has dissolved.
1 Add 3 to 6 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Let the syrup boil for one minute, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the liquid for about 10 minutes, or until flavorful.
2 Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool fully. Once cool, strain out the rosemary and store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
3  You can also stir in an ounce of neutral or light-tasting alcohol like vodka to help the syrup keep longer.
