Ingredients :
- 250 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 2 lemons (zest + juice)
- 2 to 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, for more acidity)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar
in a small saucepan, mixes water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Add the thyme and lemon.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh thyme sprigs, lemon zest, and the juice of two lemons. Let it infuse over low heat for about 10 minutes so the thyme and lemon release their flavors. If you like your syrups quite tangy, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice. - Strain the syrup.
Remove the pan from the heat and pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the thyme sprigs and zest. The syrup will be lightly golden and fragrant! - Let it cool.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.
