Jarabe de menta y tomillo y cócteles con y sin alcohol
La refrescante menta y el aromático tomillo forman una combinación poco convencional, pero le dan un toque especiado a las bebidas. El jarabe es muy dulce sin jugo de limón, así que, ya sea que lo prepares como cóctel o simplemente con agua, no olvides añadirle un poco de jugo de limón.

Método · 25 min
- Put everything in a saucepan with 500 ml of water and boil for 10 minutes. Let cool and drain.

Cooling mint and fragrant thyme are an unconventional combination, but they add a touch of spice to drinks. The syrup is very sweet without lemon juice, so whether you mix it as a cocktail or just with water, don't forget to add a little lemon juice. We have some inspiration for you in the form of a variation of a gin sour and a non-alcoholic aperitif.
