Yield: 4 standard glasses (150ml)
Equipment
- 1 large measuring jug
Materials
Makes 600ml - 4 standard 150ml glasses or 3 large 200ml. Scale up or down in proportion as required
- 400 ml white grape juice drink
- 200 ml white tea
- 2 generous tbsps lemon juice
- 2 scant tbsps Mother Root non alcoholic spirit or other strong ginger drink/flavour
- ½ scant tsp red Tabasco
Instructions
- First brew the white tea in freshly boiled water. We use 2 teabags per 500ml, and steep for just under 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature (about 45 minutes) than chill in the fridge until really cold - we allow an hour. Also chill the grape juice drink well.
- When the juice and tea are ice cold, and you are ready to mix, assemble the other ingredients and a large jug. Pour 400ml grape juice into the jug, then add 200ml of the cold tea.
- Now add the flavourings. Be generous with the lemon juice, and taste until you like the acidity, about 2 generous tablespoons for a 600ml batch. Don't be heavy handed with the ginger or Tabasco - we add about 2 scant tablespoons of ginger, and ½ a scant teaspoon of Tabasco per batch. You can always add more to taste, if liked.
- Stir well. Strain through a sieve or muslin if you want a really clear result, but this is not at all essential. Chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
