Adding one simple ingredient is often an easy way to revive a classic, and this rosemary lemonade is no exception. The rosemary taste isn’t strong, but adds just a nice fresh flavor. I wondered if Thompson would like this more sophisticated lemonade, but he would have downed the whole pitcher himself if I let him. This will definitely be a staple for our dinners outside this spring and summer.

I love homemade lemonade but I never had the thought of using Rosemary. I will definitely try this for our lazy bbq-ing days this summer. Thanks!
