Jasmine Citrus Spritz

Tea-shop perfume, dressed for a party.

  • jasmine green tea, chilled3
  • honey syrup0.5
  • fresh lemon juice0.5
  • sparkling water3
  • ice
  1. 1.The Gentle Brew. Water just under a boil — steaming, not rolling — poured over the jasmine for exactly three minutes, covered. The kettle is where this drink is won or lost.
  2. 2.Chill It Down. Strain and refrigerate until fully cold — no cheating. Warm tea shocks the bubbles flat on contact.
  3. 3.Build over Ice. Tea, honey syrup, and lemon juice over a full glass of ice.
  4. 4.Top and Garnish. Sparkling water, a lemon wheel, jasmine blossoms if you have them.
