This is what we make when we want tea to feel like a drink.
Bold black tea, spicy ginger beer, fresh lime — it’s refreshing, a little dramatic, and very satisfying. The kind of thing you pour into a tall glass and immediately feel like you made a good choice.
It’s cold, crisp, and perfect for afternoons that need something a little more interesting than plain iced tea.

Ingredients
- 3 oz strong brewed Caramel Crème Brûlée tea, chilled

Method
