Thyme Syrup
Fresh thyme has a delicate and earthy taste with some mint and citrus aromas.
Ingredients
- Thyme – You will need at least 3 sprigs of fresh thyme to infuse the simple syrup. Dried thyme can work too, with a little modification. Dried herbs can be trickier to use in infusions because the leaves are delicate and tougher to strain. If you want to use dried, we suggest a reusable tea bag filled with dried thyme and then steep until the flavor is where you want.
- Sugar – We used regular granulated sugar.
- Water
