Ingredients

Green tea bag (1)
Boiling water (1 cup)
Gin (2 ounces)
Fresh lemon juice (1 ounce)
Simple syrup (1 ounce)
Soda water (to top off)
Mint leaves (a handful, plus extra for garnish)
Lemon slice (1, for garnish)
Ice (as needed)

Instructions

Begin by brewing the green tea: Place the green tea bag in a cup and pour boiling water over it. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes.
Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature. For an added depth of flavor, consider refrigerating the tea until chilled.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled green tea, gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice to chill the mixture thoroughly.
Shake well until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, about 15-20 seconds. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect temperature and blend.
Fill a glass with ice and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, ensuring a smooth pour.
Top off the drink with soda water, adding a refreshing fizz, and gently stir to combine the flavors.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a handful of fresh mint leaves for an aromatic and visually appealing finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors that brings together tradition and modern mixology!
