Elevate a gin and tonic with a syrup infused with strips of lemon zest and sprigs of rosemary. It keeps for ages and can be added to sparkling water for a soft drink as well as gin and vodka, and makes the perfect sip to enjoy with our summer lunch recipes.
Ingredients
- Six unwaxed lemons, juiced and peeled
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large rosemary sprigs
- Gin or vodka with tonic – or sparkling water
The Homes & Gardens method
- Place the lemon juice and zest (use something like this OXO Good Grips Swivel Vegetable Peeler from Amazon) in a pan with the sugar.
- Reduce on a medium heat until syrupy – this will take around 30 minutes.
- Store in a bottle with the rosemary. This air tight Kilner swing top bottle from Amazon looks lovely as well as being practical.
- Serve a slug of the syrup with gin and tonic, vodka and tonic or sparkling water, to taste.
