Ingredients
- Green Tea Simple Syrup
- 1 cup very strongly brewed gunpowder tea
- 1 cup sugar
- Mojito
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum (I prefer gin, which works just as well)
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- sparkling water
- 1 dash bitters
- 2 sprigs mint
- ice cube
Method
- For the syrup:
- In a medium sauce pan, combine two ingredients and stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring tea mixture to a light boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a half of the original amount to create a syrup. This will take 15 minutes or more, depending how thick you want your syrup. Let cool.
- For the drink:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine rum, simple syrup, bitters, and a sprig of mint. Shake well. Pour into your glass (with or without ice cubes) and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and enjoy.
