Elderflower Pear Spritz (Adult)

teas.co.uk · 5 min + chill · Serves 2

You'll need

• 2 Good Earth Elderflower and Pear White Tea bags
• 200ml water cooled to 80C
• 50ml dry vermouth or gin (25ml per glass)
• 200ml chilled prosecco
• 1 lemon, sliced and squeezed
• Ice and a sprig of mint, to serve

Method

1. Steep the 2 bags in 200ml water cooled to 80C for 4 minutes for a pale, fragrant white tea base; over hot or over long would ruin the spritz.
2. Lift the bags out and chill the brew fully.
3. Fill two large wine glasses with ice. Add 25ml of vermouth or gin to each.
4. Pour 75ml of the chilled white tea base over the ice, followed by a squeeze of lemon juice.
5. Top each glass with 100ml chilled prosecco, slowly so it does not foam over.
6. Stir once gently, garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint.
