About the recipe
Lemon has an affinity for just about every herb, and thyme is no exception. If you want a more prominent thyme flavor, strip the thyme from the stems. For a more subtle result, leave the thyme on the stem and steep them in the simple syrup like you would a tea.
Please only use freshly squeezed lemon juice for this recipe. You’ll be so glad you did once you taste the results.
