How To Make Thyme Infused Water with Pear?

How To Make One Glass

  2. Top with ice
  3. Add 1 cup cold water

How To Make A Pitcher

  1. Place the chopped pear and fresh thyme sprigs in the pitcher
  2. Pour water into the pitcher
  3. Place pitch in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to infuse. I recommend anywhere from 1 – 8 hours.  The longer it sits, the more flavor you will get.
