Grand Yunnan Imperial black tea makes an excellent iced tea base, but it also transforms beautifully into a festive cocktail. Enhanced with honey and a touch of ginger, this versatile drink is perfect as an aperitif or a sophisticated after-dinner treat!

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup of filtered water

- 2 tsp of lavender honey

- 1/2 cup of ginger beer

- 3/4 cup of Lemonade (or sparkling lemon soda)

Preparation

    1| Steep the tea leaves and honey in water heated to 195°F (90°C) for 30 minutes. Strain and let it cool in the refrigerator.
    2| In a highball glass (long drink glass), pour 3.5 tbsp (approx. 1.7 fl oz) of the chilled honey-infused tea.
    3| Fill the rest of the glass with one-third ginger beer and two-thirds lemonade.
