Ingredients

  • 1 tsp loose leaf white tea or 1 white tea bag/sachet. We recommend Made of Tea's Bai Mudan White Tea.
  • 1 cup water
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme - some for muddling, some for garnish
  • 2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 oz vodka or gin (whatever suits your fancy)
  • 1 lemon sliced into wedges or rounds - for garnish
  • Soda water
  • Ice for serving

Directions

Heat water to 175°F-185°F and steep tea for 3-4 minutes. Then remove tea bag or leaves and set aside to cool.

Combine 3 sprigs of thyme, lemon juice (or a whole lemon wedge/round for more flavor), and honey in a cocktail shaker and muddle (smush together) with the end of a wooden spoon. Then add in the vodka and tea and give it a good stir. Add more honey to taste here.

Strain into a tall glass over ice, top with soda water, and stir lightly. Finish it off by garnishing with thyme and lemon wedges/rounds. Enjoy, friends!
