  • 2 cups sparkling water well chilled

Equipment

  • Pitcher or mixing jug

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 tall glasses

Method
 

  1. Add 2 thyme sprigs to a pitcher and gently muddle to release aromas.
  2. Stir together lemon juice and honey in the pitcher until the honey fully dissolves.
  3. Fill two tall glasses with ice. Divide the honey–lemon mixture between glasses.

Batch it: multiply ingredients and keep the honey–lemon base in the fridge for up to 2 days; add sparkling water just before serving. Variations: add a splash of ginger ale for spice or muddle a few berries for color.
