On the 14th of August my sweet husband turned 24. To celebrate, I made him a lemon thyme birthday cake and we invited over a few of our closest friends to help us eat it all. Even after the cake topper, I had a lot of thyme leftover. So what better way to use it up than to make fresh squeezed thyme lemonade?
Thyme Lemonade
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
7 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 cups water
Directions
Make a simple syrup by combining, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and fresh thyme in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, stir the mixture until sugar is dissolved and then let the syrup cool.
In a pitcher, add the simple syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups of water and mix. Serve lemonade over ice and garnish with thyme sprigs if desired.
The recipe turned out really well for me and now I am eager to try different varieties. I'm thinking blueberry thyme lemonade next!
If you have any other herbaceous lemonades you love, please feel free to share them with me. :)
Enjoy!
