Make Thyme Honey Syrup
Stir raw honey into 0.75 cup of hot water until fully dissolved. Add fresh thyme sprigs and allow them to steep in the warm honey water for 15 minutes, then strain and discard the thyme.
Juice the Lemons
Squeeze fresh lemons until you have 1 cup of juice, straining out any seeds. Use room temperature lemons for maximum juice yield.
Combine and Stir
In a large pitcher, combine the thyme honey syrup, lemon juice, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly and taste, adding more honey syrup or lemon juice to balance sweetness and tartness.
Serve Chilled
Pour over ice and garnish with a fresh thyme sprig and lemon wheel. This lemonade keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
