Hot days, warm breezy nights, yup it is beginning to feel like summer! My favorite part of summer is picnics. There’s something about packing up a smorgasbord of foods, comfy blankets and choosing the perfect spot half in the shade, half under the sun. Drinking, eating, lying, reading. Oh, and the first rule to a successful picnic? Shoes. Off. You should never have shoes on when at a picnic, it’s just not right!
This lemonade is a bit different with the rosemary, as it adds a slight earthy and botanical flavor. But trust me it's delicious. With just 3 ingredients (not including water and ice) this lemonade is refined sugar free and you can mix it up in less than five minutes. Pour it in some mason jars, screw on a lid and you’ve got your picnic drinks sorted!
