How Do You Make Raspberry And Thyme Sparkling Wine?
• Put 20 raspberries to one side. • In a medium saucepan, add the rest of the raspberries, sugar, and thyme sprigs. Cook over a low heat at a simmer, covered, for 3 minutes. The raspberries should turn into a mush. • Strain the raspberry mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing through with the back of a wooden spoon. Throw away the pulp in the compost (or use to make raspberry, thyme muffins). • Let the syrup cool down, then place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour. Chill the serving glasses as well. • Remove from the fridge and add the brandy. Stir through. Pour this mixture into each serving glass in an even amount. Fill each glass with sparkling wine. Add the whole raspberries to each glass. Serve.
