Boil a cup of water, toss in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh), and let it steep for 5–10 minutes. Strain, add a splash of honey and a squeeze of lemon, and boom—you’ve got a drink that tastes like a hug from the earth.
Pro tip: Don’t over-steep or it gets bitter. Think of it like a conversation—keep it warm and pleasant, not long and grumpy.
