Jasmine Green Tea Refresher

1. Brew the Jasmine Base

1. Steep the jasmine green tea bag in 120ml of hot water (heated to around 80°C, just off the boil) for 3 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bag, stir in the honey until fully dissolved, and let the tea cool to room temperature or chill briefly in the fridge.

2. Shake & Assemble

1. In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the cooled jasmine tea, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves.
2. Add a scoop of ice and shake gently for 8–10 seconds to chill and lightly bruise the mint.
3. Fill your highball glass with fresh ice cubes.
4. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass.
5. Top with 60ml of chilled sparkling water and give it one gentle stir from the bottom up.
