  • 1 Earl Grey tea bag
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz honey syrup
  • 3 oz chilled tonic water

  • 1 lemon twist for garnish

Instructions

  • Steep the Earl Grey tea bag in the boiling water for 5 minutes, until the liquid turns deep amber and smells strongly of bergamot.
  • Remove the tea bag, squeezing it once against the side of the cup, and let the tea cool for 15 minutes.
  • Chill the tea in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, until fully cold.
  • Fill a wine glass with ice.
  • Pour 4 ounces of the chilled Earl Grey tea over the ice, then add the lemon juice and honey syrup.
  • Stir for 10 seconds to combine.
  • Top with the chilled tonic water.
  • Twist a strip of lemon peel over the glass to release its oil, then drop it in.

Good to Know

Honey syrup pours smoother than straight honey in a cold drink; stir equal parts honey and hot water until clear, then let it cool. Use agave instead for a vegan version.
