Lemon Thyme Mint Lemonade

Mint lemonade has always been one of my summertime thirst-quenching beverages. Adding a sprig of lemon thyme to the mix really kicks up that herbaceous taste. This lemon thyme mint lemonade is great for sipping during the heat of summer while you are outside enjoying the sunshine.

Well, the rain finally ceased only to bring unseasonably hot weather for a few days. Everyone looked like they were wilting, including the little pots of herbs I keep on the windowsill. 

Herbs are one of my favorite things to add to nearly anything. They add a freshness and pop a flavor to so many recipes.

Tom and Jerry Recipe

It has come to my attention recently that some of you only know this pair of names as a cartoon duo.

As soon as there is a chill in the air, I start craving this drink.  Think of it as a warm, boozy milkshake. Doesn’t that sound amazing?! It’s even better than you think…
