teas.co.uk · 5 min plus cooling · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of True English Tea Everyday 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

1. 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.
2. Fill a balloon glass with ice. Add the gin and the cooled green tea concentrate.
3. Top with the tonic water and stir gently.
4. Garnish with cucumber and a lime wedge. For an alcohol free version, leave out the gin and add more tonic and tea.
5. Choose a light, citrus forward tonic so it does not bury the soft green note.
