The Rosemary Plum Refresher

Sounds weird, tastes great. Do it before plums go out of season.

Plums are almost out of season, but you can enjoy some ripe black ones for a little while longer. This drink is perfect for those and fresh rosemary pulled from the garden (or grocery store).

The first step, making a rosemary-infused simple syrup, is simple and can be done ahead of time. The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so. Here's how you make it:

Put 1/2 cup each of sugar, water, and fresh rosemary in a saucepan. Stir it occasionally over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, and then let it simmer, covered, for about five minutes. Let it cool, then pour it into a glass or jar. (If you have a sieve, you could strain it — or just pull the branches out!)
