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 for about a minute (around 80C)
• 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. Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, steep the 2 bags for 3 minutes, then lift them out without squeezing and chill.
2. Fill two glasses with ice and divide the chilled tea and gin between them.
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.
