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. The 2 fennel bags need 5 minutes in the boiled water; take them out and sweeten the warm fennel tea with the honey.
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. Add lemon slices to the fennel spritz and serve it immediately. 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.
