How to make a Chai Tee cocktail
… Green tea is healthy!
The beauty of the tea cocktail is that it can quickly be customized by choosing one type of tea or another. Feel free to experiment with any of these in any drink recipe. Granted, not all teas will work in every drink but, for the most part, the choice of tea is open to interpretation.
It's also important to pay attention to tea brewing times and temperatures to maximize the flavor of your tea drinks. The best thing you can do is to follow the brewing time for the tea you're using. They have it nailed, so pay attention and you'll always get a perfect brew to mix with.
You will also get the most flavors from your tea if you use the traditional hot brewing method. However, you do need to chill it before making a cold cocktail. The quickest way to do so is to place the brewed tea in the freezer for a few minutes. You can also place a tea-filled container in an ice bath for a quick chill or stick it in the refrigerator if you have a couple of hours to spare.
Here are few inspirations for tea cocktails:
1. Iced Green Tea Mojitos: This drink combines all the delicious flavors of a sugary sweet mojito with the tang of Special Sencha green tea and a spike of rum. Bonus: Green tea is healthy!
2. Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos: The combination of sweet tea and tart lemonade mixed with muddled fresh lemon juice and fresh mint is so yummy You barely taste the vodka, but you’ll definitely feel the zing.
