Green Tea Moscow Mule
Makes 2 glasses // Prep Time: 5 minutes // Active Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 copper mugs to be fancy
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1 sachet green tea with peppermint
- Ice for serving
- 4 oz vodka
- 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- Ginger beer
- Lime wedges and mint sprigs for garnish
Directions
Heat the water to 175°F and steep the tea for 2-3 minutes (cover the tea to keep all the goodness inside!). Remove tea sachet and set aside to cool (about 5 minutes). You may also steep the tea a few hours ahead of time and place in the fridge so it's cool enough to not be diluted by ice.
Fill each copper mug with ice cubes and pour 2 oz vodka in each. Then pour in 2 tbsp lime juice each, and 2 oz of the green tea each. Top with ginger beer, give them a stir, and garnish with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Enjoy!
