Step 1
To make the blueberry and thyme syrup, place 1 cup (220g) caster sugar and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves (do not boil).
Step 2
Add blueberries. Simmer for 5 mins or until the blueberries soften, pressing the blueberries to release their juices. Remove from heat and stir in the thyme. Set aside to cool completely. Strain through a fine sieve into an airtight jar and discard the solids.
Step 3
Place the gin, lemon juice and 20ml blueberry and thyme syrup in a tall glass with ice cubes. Top with soda and gently stir to combine. Decorate with the skewer.
