I used the amount of rosemary listed in the ingredients (rather than the amount in the directions) and the rosemary flavor was very intense. Maybe I let it steep too long. As my DH said, it was interesting. It sure looked pretty! I'll try this again with less time for steeping the rosemary!

    A MUST try Lemonade. It is very easy to make and the outcome is great. You have the full flavor of rosemary with the fruity sour taste of lemons. I have used less honey to sweeten the lemonade and this works very well and supports the herbal flavors a lot. The slight bitterness is very refreshing. It is completed by the sweet fruity taste of raspberries. Next time I will try it with blueberries. They might be a great alternative for raspberries, because I like them with rosmary. This lemonade is a great start of a party or dinner - try it! Thanks for sharing this unusual and exciting lemonade, which causes really a brainstorm.

    I brought this to a potluck, and the ladies all raved about it! I used fresh rosemary from my garden, and the flavor that it added was very subtle, mostly herby, but when identified, it was a really nice addition to the lemonade. This tasted very sophisticated. Thank you so much for posting!
