Directions

Gently Infuse the Honey
In a small saucepan, combine the honey and warm water and heat gently to about 60–70°C (140–160°F), never boiling, just enough to loosen the honey and make it fluid. Add the rosemary sprig, ginger slices, and jalapeño, keep the mixture at gentle warmth for 15–30 minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and let steep for an additional 30–60 minutes until aromatic with soft heat and herbal depth.
Strain and Season
Strain the infused honey through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bowl, discard all solids, stir in the pinch of fine sea salt, and let the infusion cool completely; it should smell spiced and floral, not aggressive.
Build the Spritzer
In a pitcher, combine 120 ml of the cooled spiced honey infusion with plenty of ice, then add the chilled club soda and stir gently once or twice only to integrate without killing carbonation.
Serve
Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with rosemary sprigs, ginger slices, and optional jalapeño slices, then serve immediately while cold and lively.

*Notes :

Never boil honey — heat kills aroma and flattens flavor.
Jalapeño should provide warmth, not burn; deseeding is mandatory.
Rosemary perfumes fast; restraint is not optional.
Salt should never be tasted — it sharpens honey and spice.
This drink must finish dry-leaning; sweetness means you overshot.
Best served immediately.
