Ingrédients

Infused Maple Simple Syrup

▢ 1 cup water
▢ ¾ cup maple syrup or agave or honey
▢ 8 sprigs lemon thyme or regular thyme, divided
▢ 1 tablespoon ginger grated (Notes)

Lemonade

▢ 4 cups water
▢ ¾ cup lemon juice (from about 6 medium lemons)
▢ 4 sprigs lemon thyme
▢ Ginger slices for extra steeping (Notes)
▢ Thyme for extra steeping and garnish

Préparation

First make the infused maple syrup: Combine water and maple syrup to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and sprigs thyme, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat, cover and simmer for about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature for 25 minutes. Strain and refrigerate until further use.
In a large pitcher, add lemon juice and dilute it with water. Add ⅔ cup of the simple syrup mixture and reserve for later use.
Add the ginger slices, some lemon rinds, and lemon thyme to steep if desired. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Serve over ice with garnishes.

Notes

For a lighter ginger flavor, add 6 ¼-inch sliced ginger. In this case, you might need ginger slices for extra steeping in the lemonade.
