Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups Water
- 5 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 cup Vodka
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 4 sprigs Thyme sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
Juice the 4 lemons to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain out any seeds and pulp, if desired, and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar, 0.5 cup of water, and the 5 sprigs of fresh thyme. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the thyme syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, remove the thyme sprigs and discard them.
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, the thyme syrup, 2 cups of water, and vodka. Stir well to mix.
Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the vodka thyme lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a fresh thyme sprig for a touch of elegance.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Vodka Thyme Lemonade!
