This is an espresso martini's idea applied to tea. Shake a strong, cooled Instant Tea hard with vodka and the built-in whitener throws up a glossy, frothy top, much like the foam on top of one. It is a clever little after-dinner drink.

Dissolve the tea strong and chill it first, then shake hard over ice. Leave out the vodka and lengthen with more tea and a splash of soda for an alcohol-free version.
You'll need
- 3 teaspoons of Typhoo QT One Cup Instant Tea
- 60ml hot water (to dissolve)
- 50ml vodka
- 10ml sugar syrup
- Ice
Method
- Dissolve the instant tea in the hot water until smooth, then chill it.
- Fill a shaker with ice. Add the cooled creamy tea, vodka and sugar syrup.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds. The built-in whitener gives a frothy top.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass. For an alcohol-free version, swap the vodka for more chilled tea and a splash of soda.
- Double-strain through a fine sieve for a smoother, frothier top.
