Sorrel and Ginger Mule (Tropical Sun)

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

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Tropical Sun Sorrel and Ginger
• 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
• 100ml white rum or vodka
• Juice of 1 lime
• 150ml chilled ginger beer or soda water
• Plenty of ice and lime wedges, to serve

Method

1. Brew strong: steep the 2 bags in the boiled water for 6 minutes, then lift them out.
2. Stir in the honey or sugar while warm, then leave to cool and chill.
3. Fill two copper mugs or tumblers with plenty of ice.
4. Divide the chilled tea, rum or vodka and lime juice between the mugs and stir.
5. Top each with chilled ginger beer or soda, add a lime wedge, and serve.
6. White rum keeps this light, but dark rum is the traditional Caribbean partner for sorrel if you want more depth; with vodka, add an extra squeeze of lime to make up for it.
