1 1/2 cups water
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 ounce lemon thyme sprigs
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the thyme, cover and let stand for at least 2 hours. Add the lemon juice and strain the syrup.
To make the cocktail:
1 tablespoon sugar
Ice
3 lemon wedges
