Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz gin
  • .5 oz lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup rhubarb, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 2 tbsp Sweet Summer Cider, oolong tea

Directions

  1. Make the rhubarb-tea syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water, rhubarb and loose tea. Gently heat and keep on a low heat for about 15 minutes, until the rhubarb has softened. Don't let it boil. Pass the mixture through a fine strainer and chill the liquid. Discard the strained rhubarb and tea pieces.
