Boozy Tea: Darjeeling and gin

Prevention magazine has published on line an article about tea-based cocktails.  Since I am limited in my ability to consume alcohol, I rely on you, my faithful readers, to try some of these.

This one looked most interesting to me for a summer heat wave.

3 oz gin

4 oz Darjeeling tea, cooled

1½ oz rose simple syrup

2 oz (1 oz in each cocktail) Perrier sparkling natural mineral water

A few dashes of peach bitters

1. COMBINE first three ingredients in a mixing glass filled ¾ with ice.

2. STIR for 30 seconds to combine.

3. POUR in separate Old Fashioned glasses with one large ice cube in each. Add a few shakes of the peach bitters. Test for sweetness, and add more rose simple syrup if necessary. Stir again.

4. FINISH with 1 oz Perrier in each glass.

5. GARNISH with a slice of peach or orange.
