As the calendar turns its pages to the cherished occasion of National Tea Day on Sunday, April 21st, we invite you to celebrate with a twist that's sure to delight both tea aficionados and cocktail enthusiasts alike: the Earl Grey Martini! Join us in raising a glass to the art of tea appreciation and this mixology mastery from BBC Good Food.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 700ml
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Loose-Leaf Earl Grey Tea
- 700ml Bottle Of Gin
- Ice
Method
Step 1: Put the earl grey tea into a large jug and pour the gin over and stir with a long-handled spoon for about 45 secs.
Step 2: Next, strain the gin through the tea strainer over a funnel back into the bottle. You should see small particles of leaf still suspended in the gin. Following this, rinse out the jug then using a coffee filter or some muslin inside the funnel, strain the gin a second time to remove all of the particles. This will stabilise the flavour making it last months until the very last sip!
Step 3: To serve, shake or stir over ice.
