For the Simple Syrup

1 cup water Base liquid for the syrup and slushie; substitute with sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
1 cup sugar Adds sweetness; honey or agave can be used as alternatives.
1 handful fresh rosemary Infuses syrup with herbal notes; can swap with mint or thyme.

For the Slushie

1 cup fresh lemon juice About 6 lemons yield best flavor, bottled juice as last resort.
1 cup water
1/2 cup rosemary simple syrup Use syrup made in the previous step.
1 to 2 cups ice Finely crushed for smoother texture.

For Garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rosemary Lemonade Slushie

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and syrup appears clear, about 4 minutes. Add fresh rosemary, simmer for 30 seconds, remove from heat, and cool for at least 30 minutes.
In a high-powered blender, combine 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of water, and ½ cup of the rosemary simple syrup. Blend until fully combined.
Gradually add ice to the blender, blend on high until frothy and smooth, about 30 seconds per batch, until desired consistency is reached.
Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with dried lemon slices on the rim or floating in the slushie.
