Method

In a glass bowl, pour vinegar over the black mustard seeds. Cover the bowl and leave the seeds overnight to absorb some of the vinegar.
Place the yellow mustard seeds in a blender or small food processor and whizz them until they are finely ground, then add the soaked black mustard seeds and any remaining vinegar, the honey and salt. Whizz until the black seeds are lightly crushed, but there is still some texture. Stir in the thyme.
Spoon the mustard into sterilised jars, seal and label. Store them in a cool, dark place for about 1 week before using, after which the mustard should be used within 1 month, and kept in the fridge after the jar has been opened. The mustard can be packed in a suitable container and frozen for up to 1 month. Allow to defrost before use.
