Muscat and Lemon Thyme Syrup image

This recipe is designed to accompany the Lemon Thyme Pound Cakes. Slowly drizzle syrup over the cakes while they're still warm, then pour any leftover syrup onto plates so that your guests can soak individual bites. For this syrup, we like the delicate floral aroma of Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.
