Earl Grey Arnold Palmer
(Provided by Butter + Salt. Serves 1)
Infusing tea into gin is simple to do and elevates the flavor of the tried-and-true Arnold Palmer. Simply infuse a good gin with any kind of tea leaves for 45 minutes and strain. We enjoy ours with Earl Grey. Fresh lemon juice is key.
2 ounces gin
1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves
2 ounces lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons simple syrup (see recipe in story)
Large ice cube
Lemon twist
Place tea leaves in gin and let infuse for at least 30 minutes. Pour lemon juice and simple syrup into gin. Stir with ice cubes until chilled. Strain and pour over large ice cube in glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
