Pomegranate Green Tea Gin and Tonic

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

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Twinings Pomegranate Green Tea
• 150ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 50ml gin
• 200ml chilled tonic water
• 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
• A handful of pomegranate seeds, to garnish
• Plenty of ice

Method

1. Pomegranate green tea likes water rested about a minute off the boil: steep the 2 bags 3 minutes, lift them out without squeezing, then chill.
2. Split the chilled pomegranate tea and the gin between two glasses heaped with ice.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lime juice.
4. Stir gently, finish with lime slices and pomegranate seeds, and serve straight away.
5. A sloe gin mixed 50:50 with a London Dry works well; the berry character bridges the botanicals and the tart pomegranate naturally.
