    "content_text": "Green Tea Gin Cooler is a long, crisp cocktail that uses cooled green tea as its base, so the botanicals in the gin meet a smooth, slightly grassy backbone rather than just tonic. Lemon and a little honey syrup sharpen it up, and soda keeps it light enough to drink in the sun.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for the Green Tea Gin Cooler recipe. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/cocktails/green-tea-gin-cooler/Serves one. Brew the green at 80C and chill it well first, the same care you would give a plain cup, because a bitter brew shows through even in a cocktail. To make it alcohol-free, drop the gin and lengthen it with more soda and a few slices of cucumber.",
