Transform homemade cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and baked goods with homemade Rosemary Simple Syrup. It's so easy to make in one pan with 3 simple ingredients. With just a few minutes of hands-on time, you'll have a beautifully fragrant simple syrup with rosemary's classic flavor infused throughout.
In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and rosemary springs to a simmer until sugar is dissolved, then simmer for one to two additional minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour. The longer it sits the more flavorful it will be!
Strain the liquid into an airtight container to remove any particles and rosemary leaves. Store in an airtight container - like a glass jar - in the fridge. It should last for 3-4 weeks if stored properly.
Notes
This ratio makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of simple syrup. Halve the recipe and you'll have approximately 3/4 cups simple syrup.
