Method
Step 1
For the Lemon Thyme Syrup, mix sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Add lemon thyme and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to completely dissolve sugar. Strain. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
Step 2
Heat milk and cream with the Vanilla Pod for 2 minutes and allow to cool.
Step 3
Fill a shaker half full with cracked ice. Add all ingredients, shake until well mixed and chilled, then strain into 3 cocktail glasses. Serve with or without ice and garnish with lemon twists.
Step 4
Cook's Notes
If fresh lemon thyme is unavailable, substitute 2 teaspoons Schwartz Thyme Leaves.
If Meyer lemon juice is unavailable, use 3 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon orange juice for each cocktail shaker.
