1
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped figs, thyme sprigs, sugar, and water.
2
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the figs have softened and the syrup has thickened slightly.
4
Strain Syrup
Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar, pressing down on the figs to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
5
Cool the Syrup
Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

6
Mix Ingredients
In a glass, add 2 tablespoons of the prepared fig-thyme syrup and fresh lemon juice.
7
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes.
8
Top with Soda
Pour soda water over the ice and syrup mixture, stirring gently to combine.
9
Garnish
Garnish with a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass.
