Green Tea Gin and Tonic

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus chilling · Makes 2 glasses

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea
• 150ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 50ml gin
• 200ml chilled tonic water
• 1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced
• Plenty of ice

Method

1. For this gin and tonic, rest the boiled water about a minute, give 2 bags of green tea 3 minutes in it, then lift them out unsqueezed and chill.
2. Two glasses, both full of ice, take equal shares of the cold green tea and the gin.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lemon juice.
4. A gentle stir, lemon slices on top, and the green tea gin is ready to serve.
5. Serve it in a wine glass rather than a tumbler: the wider bowl lets the gin botanicals open up.
