Tea Thyme Soda

Make the syrup by combining water and sugar in a saucepan and then boil until the sugar has dissolved. Add black tea bags, a sprig of thyme and half a cinnamon stick and leave to steep. When the mixture has cooled, strain into a jug or container, squeezing as much liquid out of the tea bags as possible.

Then, fill your glass with ice, and add the syrup, lemon juice and bourbon. Top with soda and stir. Garnish with thyme and serve.
