Green Tea Gin and Tonic (Adult Cocktail)
teas.co.uk · 5 min plus cooling · Serves 1
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Tetley Decaf Pure Green Tea
- 80ml just off boil water cooled to about 80C (boil, then rest the kettle for roughly 90 seconds)
- 50ml gin
- 100ml chilled tonic water
- Ice, cucumber slices and a lime wedge to serve
Method
- Rest the boiled kettle for about 90 seconds, then steep one bag in 80ml of roughly 80C water for 3 minutes to make a small, strong concentrate. Lift the bag out and chill it.
- Fill a balloon glass with ice. Add the gin and the cooled green tea concentrate.
- Top with the tonic water and stir gently.
- Garnish with cucumber and a lime wedge. For an alcohol free version, leave out the gin and add more tonic and tea.
- Fill the glass to the brim with ice; a packed glass melts slower than a half full one and keeps the drink crisp.
