Or try adding just a dash of rose water or orange blossom water \u2013 it adds a lovely floral essence!<\/p>\n Summer fruits are plentiful this time of year: Muddle in mouth-watering watermelon, juicy peaches, sweet cherries, or tart raspberries. Or get herbalicious with your lemonade and add in sprigs of fresh picked rosemary such as in my Rosemary Lemonade Cooler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Cool off with a refreshing glass; cheers! \u2013Kathy<\/p>\n Rosemary Lemonade Cooler<\/strong> Makes 8 to 10 servings 3 Tbsp lemon zest Garnish: lemon wheel or wedges and small fresh rosemary sprigs<\/p>\n Combine the zest, rosemary, sugar, and the 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a quick boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the mint to steep and the syrup to cool.<\/p>\n Remove and discard rosemary from syrup.
