Here is a drink I found using tea. Hopefully your weekend was less stressful than mine, and you won’t need a glass to decompress. Though maybe just one for fun. 🙂
Tea Thyme
- TOTAL TIME: 5 MIN PLUS; 2 HR STEEPING
- SERVINGS: MAKES 1 DRINK
This drink uses a homemade vodka tea and to sweeten it, local honey.
TO MAKE TEA VODKA
- In a jar, combine the vodka with the English Breakfast tea bag. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, then discard the tea bag. For every 12 ounces of vodka use one tea bag.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 thyme sprigs
- Ice
- 1 1/2 ounces Tea Vodka
- 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey mixed with 2 teaspoons of water
DIRECTIONS
- In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle 1 of the thyme sprigs. Add ice and the Tea Vodka, lemon juice and honey syrup and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe and garnish with the remaining thyme sprig.
MAKE AHEAD
The infused vodka can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 1 month.
