How to make this tasty, refreshing beverage:

1/2 cup sugar
6 cups water, divided
6-8 sprigs fresh rosemary
3/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup frozen blueberries

Bring the sugar and 2 cups water to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat. Add rosemary, cover and steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain the syrup into a pitcher and stir in the lemon juice and remaining 4 cups of water. Adjust lemon to taste by adding additional juice! Chill. Before serving, top pitcher with frozen blueberries.

The frozen blueberries melt slowly, adding a good chill (especially handy if you didn't have time to chill completely in the fridge first!) and a lovely purple/blue hue to the lemonade. So tasty!
