INGREDIENTS:
* 10mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 2 ripe fresh figs (or 1 tbsp fig jam)

* 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
* 2 sprigs fresh thyme
* 3 oz ginger ale or sparkling water
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: Half a fresh fig and a scorched thyme sprig
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a tavern glass, muddle the fresh figs and honey syrup until the fruit is completely broken down.
* Add the lemon juice and the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Fill the glass with ice.
* Top with ginger ale or sparkling water and stir gently.
* To smoke the thyme: Carefully use a kitchen torch or a match to light the tip of a thyme sprig until it begins to smoke.
* Immediately place the smoking sprig into the drink or rest it across the rim to infuse the aroma into the glass.
* Garnish with the remaining fig half.
CHEF TIPS:
The Figs: If fresh figs are unavailable, use a high-quality fig preserve. If using preserves, reduce the honey syrup slightly to balance the sweetness.
The Smoke: The "smoked" element is mainly for the aroma, which heavily influences the taste. Ensure you use food-grade, fresh thyme for the best scent.
The Strain: For a cleaner look, you can muddle and shake the ingredients in a separate tin and double-strain them into the glass to remove the fig seeds.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Honeyed Fig & Smoked Thyme Elixir responsibly 🍯🌿
