• 1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
• 4 cups cold water
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

1. Start by gently rinsing the fresh strawberries. Also, give the thyme sprigs a quick rinse to remove any dirt or impurities.
2. Add the hulled strawberries and thyme sprigs to your blender. The aroma of thyme will start filling your kitchen, promising something wonderful.
3. Pour in the honey. The sweet scent of honey blending with strawberries is almost irresistible!
4. Add the cold water to the blender. This will help mix everything into a smooth, refreshing drink.
5. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon to add a zesty twist. The citrusy aroma will balance out the sweetness perfectly.
6. Blend on high speed until smooth. Feel free to adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
7. Prepare a pitcher filled with ice cubes. Pour your freshly blended juice over the ice, letting it chill immediately.
8. For a final touch, garnish each glass with a sprig of thyme and a whole strawberry. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you prefer a thinner juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
• For a natural sweetener, replace honey with agave syrup or stevia.
• To make it even more refreshing, serve in a chilled glass.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate the drink base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
• No fresh thyme? No problem! Substitute with a small amount of dried thyme, adjusting to taste.
• For a seasonal twist, swap strawberries with raspberries or peaches.
