Equipment

2 Glasses
1 Pitcher optional
1 Muddler or wooden spoon optional

Ingredients

Lemon Thyme Syrup

0.5 cup water
0.5 cup granulated sugar or sugar substitute like Stevia or Monk Fruit
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon zested

Mocktail

4 lemons juiced
1 liter sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes
Lemon slices and thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar (or sugar substitute), thyme sprigs, and lemon zest.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let steep for 20-30 minutes to allow the thyme flavor to infuse.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the thyme sprigs and lemon zest. Let cool completely.
In a pitcher or directly into glasses, combine the lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of the lemon thyme syrup (adjust to taste).
Add ice cubes and top with sparkling water or club soda.
Garnish with lemon slices and thyme sprigs. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less Lemon Thyme Syrup. For a stronger thyme flavor, increase the steeping time of the syrup.
