Herb-Infused Lemonade Popsicles

These refreshing pops are tart and flavourful, not cloyingly sweet and full of artificial colors - perfect for adult palates!
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 big sprigs rosemary, plus a few leaves for each popsicle
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (10-12 lemons)

Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar and cook over medium heat. Once the mixture has boiled and the sugar dissolved, add the corn syrup, lemon zest and rosemary, and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the rosemary to steep while the mixture cools, for at least 15 minutes.

Remove the rosemary sprigs. Combine 1 cup of the simple syrup and the lemon juice. Pour into popsicle molds along with a few whole rosemary leaves, freeze for 40 minutes, add the sticks, and then freeze completely for 3 hours or more.
