Ingredients

1 quart of bourbon whiskey
1 thumb of ginger, skinned and thinly sliced
rind of one large lemon
¼ cup of honey
3 long sprigs of rosemary

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine honey and three ounces of bourbon. Pour the mixture into a medium sauce pan, add the lemon and ginger, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Gently simmer for five to seven minutes, and let cool. Add the mixture to a clean one-quart mason jar, and fill with whiskey. Add the rosemary sprigs, seal the jar, and give it a shake to mix everything. Let it sit from 24 hours up to a week, depending on how strong you want the infusion to be. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and then again through a coffee filter.
