Rosemary Lemonade Slushies

Lemonade…a Summertime favorite in many homes. Sitting on the front porch and enjoying the evening breeze and the company of neighbors with a glass of lemonade. What could be more refreshing than that? How does some Rosemary Lemonade Slushies grab you?

We recently turned our raised garden bed into an herb garden and will plant a larger garden this weekend. In the meantime we have been on the lookout for new ways to use the fresh herbs that we are beginning to harvest.

this recipe!

With the official start to Summer this weekend, you will probably have the grill fired up. It’s the perfect opportunity to surprise your guest when you add a bag full of lemons to the grill. They’re sure to gather around with curiosity and wonder but they’ll never guess what you have up your sleeve.

Grilling the lemons not only adds to the beautiful presentation of the slushie it also performs a function. When you heat the lemon halves up they swell and it helps release all the tartness of the lemon.

These Rosemary Lemonade Slushies are packed with lemons and making the simple syrup really infuses the rosemary into every sip.
