Making the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Add 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once dissolved, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the rosemary flavor.

Cooling the Syrup
