In a large bowl or 8-cup liquid measuring cup, combine 1 cup water (236ml), 2/3 of the sliced plums, thyme, and half of the sliced chile. Using a potato masher or muddler, mash plum mixture until broken down and all juice is expressed from plums, about 1 minute. Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez Stir in 3 cups (710ml) water. Refrigerate covered until flavors meld and mixture is chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez Strain infused water through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large serving pitcher, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids. Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez Stir in remaining 4 cups (945ml) water. Just before serving, garnish pitcher or individual glasses with remaining plum slices, additional thyme sprigs and remaining half of the sliced chile. Serve over ice. Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez
