Description

This thyme simple syrup offers an earthy taste and herb flavor while providing the perfect amount of sweetness for any drink!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 10 thyme sprigs

Instructions

Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Add the thyme and bring to a light simmer (not boiling) for 4-5 minutes to allow the thyme to infuse the syrup. Let cool slightly, then remove or strain out the thyme leaves and pour simple syrup into a clean mason jar or bottle. Let cool completely and store in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks.

Make these blackberry mocktails– it won’t last long!


Notes

Freezer storage instructions: fill an ice cube tray with a tablespoon or so of syrup in each square and freeze. Pop the cubes out and keep in a freezer stasher bag sealed tight. Now, each time you want a burst of herbal flavor you can add a cube of thyme syrup!
