Ginger Green Tea Mocktail

February 11th, 2015 Drink of the Week

I had some girlfriends over last night and made this in advance for all of us to enjoy. It was yummy – like a cool lemon, ginger & honey drink but with the added delicate flavour of the green tea. I would suggest topping it up with soda water when you serve to give it a bit of fizz and make it go further.

Ingredients:
1.2 litres of water
100 g fresh ginger peeled and sliced
Big handful of fresh chopped mint
6 plain green tea bags
1/2 cup honey
Juice of 2 lemons

Method:
* Bring the ginger & water to boil in a medium saucepan
* Remove from the heat and add the mint and tea bags
* Allow to infuse for 20 minutes
* Strain the liquid into a large jug and add the honey and lemon juice, stirring to combine (it should still be warm enough to melt the honey)
* Refrigerate until required
* Serve with ice and fresh mint

And here is my friend Emma enjoying hers!

Sober Story: Cookie

"I have refused to let myself relapse because I know I wouldn’t be able to stop again. I’ve had to put my big girl panties on from time to time to stop relapsing."

Drinking Dreams

Mrs D's Blog

It’s very hard to explain the intensity of a drinking dream to someone who isn’t sober.
