- Remove from heat. Let rest for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard the thyme, or leave in longer for a stronger flavor.
- Let cool completely. Store in a mason jar for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Just before dropping it into your syrup infusion, hold the fresh thyme in one palm and clap your other hand on top of it a few times — what bartenders call “spanking” it (yes, laugh!). This releases essential oils and fragrances from the leaves for a more aromatic syrup.
