Honey Thyme Tom Collins

Source: From the test labs of SomethingEdible.com.

Servings: Makes a drink (with plenty of syrup for a few more rounds).

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Instructions:

For the Thyme-infused Honey Syrup:

Using your cooktop / microwave / hot pot / whatever, bring your water just to a boil. Add the thyme and the hot water to a small French press and allow it to steep for 5 minutes. Press the tea, and then check to make sure that the temperature of your extract is not above 150F. At which time that the steepage is in the safe zone, stir in the honey. Once the concotion has settled to room temperature, store the syrup in a lidded container in the fridge where it'll keep for a long, long time.

To mix your Tom Collins:

Into a Collins glass (or other 10ish oz glass) half-full of ice, add gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup. Top with club soda and give it a quick stir before garnishing with a cherry and an orange slice (and maybe a sprig of thyme if you wanna get fancy).

Notes:

Obviously, after the syrup's done, the prep/cook times become a non-issue.
