Ingredients
1 cups granulated sugar
1 cups water
6 fresh thyme sprigs
juice from 12 lemons
1 cup vodka
Directions
In a small saucepan combine water, sugar and thyme. Bring to boil over high heat, until the sugar has been dissolved. Remove from heat, and let it cool to room temperature. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a large glass measuring cup, and discard the thyme. You should have a cup of syrup. Cover with plastic and chill.
In a large serving pitcher, stir together lemon juice, vodka and chilled syrup over ice and garnish with thyme. Serve ice cold.
