Ingredients
- 2" piece of fresh ginger
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 bags Pink Lemonade Herbal Tea Blend, or your choice of herbal tea
- 4 lemons
- 6 cups club soda
- 1⁄4 cup cranberry juice or pomegranate juice
- 4 oz gin, optional
Preparation
- To make simple syrup, finely grate ginger (don’t peel); place in Multipurpose Pot. Add sugar and water. Stir to combine. Add tea bags. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 min. Gently press tea bags with the back of a spoon to release more flavour and colour. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain. Pour into a glass and chill.
- Slice lemons in half. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze juice from lemons into a large pitcher. Add club soda, juice, simple syrup, and gin, if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Divide between eight glasses filled with ice.
