Mix the drink

1. Combine the water, maple syrup, two rosemary sprigs, crushed peppercorns and salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring just to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 4 minutes, then remove from the heat and steep for 6 minutes.
3. Strain the infusion through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the rosemary and peppercorns.
4. Add the clementine juice, lemon juice and vanilla. Warm over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until steaming but not boiling.
5. Taste and add up to 1 tablespoon more water if the citrus is especially tart. Keep warm over the lowest heat while preparing the cups.
