Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup quartered fresh strawberries, and 2 fresh rosemary sprigs. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes until strawberries are soft and syrup is fragrant.
Step 2: Remove from heat, strain the syrup through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract maximum flavor. Let syrup cool to room temperature.
Step 3: In a large pitcher, combine 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice and the cooled strawberry-rosemary syrup. Stir well.
Step 4: Just before serving, add 3 cups chilled sparkling water and ice cubes to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
Step 5: Serve in glasses garnished with lemon slices and additional rosemary sprigs for aroma.
