Preparation

Make the Rosemary Infused Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, reduce heat to low and let it steep for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out the rosemary, and allow to cool.

Prepare the Spiced Pear Nectar
Peel, core, and chop 2 ripe pears. In a blender, combine the pear pieces with 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to extract the nectar, discarding the pulp.
