Fennel Gin Spritz (Tropical Sun, Adult Cocktail)

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus chilling · Makes 2 long drinks

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Tropical Sun Fennel
• 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• 1 teaspoon honey, to balance
• 50ml gin (25ml per glass)
• Chilled soda water, to top
• Lemon slices and plenty of ice

Method

1. Steep the 2 fennel bags in the boiled water for 5 minutes, then lift them out and stir in the honey while warm.
2. Leave the fennel tea to cool, then chill it well.
3. Fill two tall glasses with ice and divide the chilled fennel tea and the gin between them.
4. Top each glass with chilled soda water and stir once.
5. Finish with lemon slices and serve straight away. One glass each.
6. Use a London Dry gin rather than a flavoured gin; the juniper keeps the aniseed in balance rather than competing with it.
