Thyme Lemonade
Since the weather has turned hot I have to admit that I’ve been really into making iced drinks lately. Lemonade is hard to beat as the summer beverage. Here is a nice variation on the much loved basic lemonade. If you want to make this an adult drink then add 6 ounces of vodka and make sure to hide your “amped” lemonade from the kids!
INGREDIENTS
1 Bunch Thyme
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Water
2 Cups Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Cups Cold Water
Extra Thyme Sprigs For Garnish
Lemon Slices For Garnish
In a medium saucepan bring the thyme, sugar and water to a simmer over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes. Strain the sugar water into a pitcher filled with ice. Now stir in the lemon juice and the cold water. Serve over ice with thyme sprigs and lemon slices for garnish. Serves 4
