Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh rosemary, freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes to allow the rosemary's flavor to infuse.
3. After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the rosemary sprigs.
4. Add the club soda to the pitcher and stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.
5. Fill your glasses with ice cubes and pour the refreshing soda over the top.
6. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs and lemon slices for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
