Preparation

1. Wash and pat dry the thyme. Put all the ingredients except the vodka, water and sugar in a 1 liter container. Add the vodka. Weight the thyme so that it is completely submerged in the vodka. Cover the container tightly and put in a cool dark place for 2 months.
2. Stain the vodka. Put the water and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir well, then return to heat and bring to a boil again. Cool.
3. Combine the cooled syrup and the strained vodka. Put into a clean bottle, cork and leave in a cool, dark place for two months to mellow.
