Had an hour free before the commute into Newark, so decided I'd give my sister's suggestion of lemon & thyme soda a try.
- 8 sprigs of thyme boiled for 30 min, then the juice of 1 and a half lemons was added.
- About 1/4 cups of white sugar was added, as well as the zest of the lemons
- We debated how much lemon juice to add to make sure the more subtle taste of the thyme was not overwhelmed, eventually settling on about 7 tablespoons.
- At the last minute we decided to see how the floral flavor of pink peppercorn would hold up - it ended up complementing the savory taste of the thyme and the acidity of the lemon very well.
And as a nice side note, our lemon & thyme soda makes a pretty kickass cocktail with Boomsa Genever (a gin aged in oak). Perfect Friday night drink.
