Tea-based Cocktail Mixer Recipe

Global · Condiment · 20 min total

A versatile, aromatic tea syrup that adds depth and complexity to cocktails. Perfect for mixing with spirits like gin, vodka, or bourbon.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 bags black tea (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4 slices fresh ginger
• 1 vanilla bean, split (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
2. Remove from heat and add tea bags, cinnamon stick, ginger slices, and vanilla bean (if using). Steep for 10 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags and strain out solids. If using vanilla extract, stir in now.
4. Let cool completely. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
5. To use, mix 1-2 ounces of syrup with 2 ounces of spirit, add ice, and top with soda water or tonic.

Tips

• Adjust sweetness by varying sugar amount.
• For a floral note, add dried lavender or chamomile during steeping.
• Shake well before each use as syrup may settle.
