My mother-in-law is a great cook, and she makes the BEST lemon drops, as they are infused with rosemary. This cocktail inspired my afternoon refreshment (don't worry, I wasn't drinking on the job). I made a (alcohol-free) Lavender-Rosemary Lemonade, as I just planted said herbs yesterday and was blessed with lemons from a friend's tree.
Step one: Put 2 or 3 sprigs of rosemary and/or lavender in a sauce pan, along with two cups of water and about half cup sugar (I used a combination of agave surup and raw sugar). Simmer for awhile...I think I left it on the stove for about 1 hour. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step two: Juice about 4 or 5 lemons. And combine this with your infused water (take the sprigs out at this point, too).
Step three: Add some ice and enjoy. If you need it sweeter, add sugar. If it's too strong, add a little water. If you want a "fun drink", I'd suggest adding Vodka :) or Gin :)
