In a small pan, combine the sugar, thyme and 175ml water; simmer over a gentle heat for 5 mins or so, until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is thick and syrupy. Remove and leave to cool. Discard the thyme and put the syrup in the fridge until needed (it’ll keep chilled in an airtight jar for 2 weeks).Step 2
To serve, add 20ml sugar syrup to each glass, followed by 100ml grapefruit juice. Stir to mix; put in plenty of ice and top up with soda water. Add the grapefruit wedges.
