NOTES
For children you might want to skip the rosemary, that have quite distinctive flavour…
Or you can make for them strawberry and mint lemonade instead.
beautiful and refreshing! I didn’t know rosemary leaves can be blended … thanks for the tip :)
I love the pale pink colour of this drink. The addition of the rosemary is intriguing.
Wow, didn’t think rosemary could be used in a sweet drink like that. I’d try it at least once.
That sounds nice an refreshing.
Hi Margo, I stumbled upon your site by way of Snackgrab. I plan to make this drink this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Watermelon and rosemary–what a good late summer combination. I’ll definitely put this on my MUST TRY list.
In the mean time, you should think about submitting this recipe to cookthink’s root source challenge. You could win a free cookbook and next week’s ingredient is rosemary!
