Jasmine Green Tea Gin and Tonic

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

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Twinings Jasmine Green 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. With the boiled water rested for about a minute, the 2 bags of jasmine green tea need 3 minutes; lift them out without squeezing and chill.
2. Ice two glasses and pour half the chilled jasmine tea and half the gin into each.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lemon juice.
4. Stir the jasmine gin gently, top with lemon slices, serve at once.
5. Go easy on the lemon and finish with a strip of grapefruit peel instead; its oils lift the jasmine where too much lemon juice can flatten it.
