Fresh Rosemary Lemonade

These sunshiny days simply beg for the clink of ice cubes in a mason jar and the cold sip of a fresh homemade lemonade.

Preferably outside. Preferably with condensation all over your table, and you don’t even care because you’re in a carefree summer lovin’ state of mind.

Let’s all raise a mason jar (or a tall glass, as long as it’s icy) and count down to the dog days of summer!
