As promised, here I am looking in my notebook of goodies for Christmas and I got something for you today…
Lets start with adults:
Pomegranate power
What you need:
350 ml Vodka
3-4 tablespoons full of Hibiscus
Pomegranate juice
Lemon twists for garnish
How you make it:
Soak the Hibiscus in vodka for 4 hours, then strain out the tea leaves, pressing out as much liquid from the leaves as possible
Fill a small tumbler with crushed ice. In a shaker glass, blend 30 ml of the tea-infused vodka with 120ml pomegranate juice. Pour over the ice, and garnish with the lemon twist.
Now for the non-alcoholic part….
Let’s go with a nice and spicy
HollyChai with Chai Rooibos tea
What you need:
2 perfect spoonfuls Chai Rooibos
1 cup hot water
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 star anise
tonic water
mint spring or lemon slice
ice
How you make it:
1. Steep the chai Rooibos in hot water for 5 minutes, then strain into a measuring cup and discard leaves (remember you can use them for compost)
2. In a highball glass, add ice, 120 of steeped tea, lemon juice and star anise and top with tonic water
3. Gently stir and garnish with mint or a lemon slice
