Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 94kcal
Ingredients
- 2 oz. gin
- 2 oz. extra-strong Steep Echo Bloom tea
- 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves plus more for garnish
Instructions
To brew strong tea
- Pour 6 ounces of freshly boiled water over 2 tea sachets and allow to steep for at least 10 minutes to an hour. Let cool completely before using in cocktail.
To make the Tea Gimlet
- Put gin, tea, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and fresh thyme leaves in a cocktail shaker.
- Gently muddle for more thyme flavor.
- Add ice then shake well.
- Strain the aromatic cocktail into a short cocktail glass over fresh ice and garnish with a spring or two of fresh thyme.
Notes
- Add the ice to the cocktail shaker at the very end to dilute the other ingredients as little as possible.
- Substitute green tea or black tea if you don't have herbal tea available.
- Use honey in place of simple syrup if you don't have any. It's a natural pairing for tea.
- Although I like gin the best, you could use vodka instead.
- This recipe is easy to make a larger batch of once you make the strong tea.
