Does the 5 minute infusion really work? Most recipes have a full bottle infusing for 2 hours, but is five minutes enough for a single serving? Also, how much tea to use for a single serving? As much as if I was making a regular cup of Earl Grey?
Simon, did you mean to say 120ml gin in this comment? Because your recipe calls for 60ml per drink. I wonder if you might at some point consider adding the volume to be infused in the recipe above, if only so you don't have stupid people like me needing clarification!!! :P
One of my favourite drinks ever. Like Peter below I've just tried this with Lady Grey and agree it's perhaps a little more understated than Earl (although I suspect there's probably not a great deal between any black tea used, anyone tried this with PG Tips yet?!)
And thanks for including the advice on infusing smaller quantities Simon, all the other recipes I've seen insist on using an entire bottle which isn't terribly practical for the home drink-mixer...!!
Oh this is exceptional.
Stupendously refreshing... so much so, I could barely register the alcohol in this (I used La Fée Parisiene) which is kinda insane for an absinthe cocktail! *falls over*
I altered this slightly by adding 15ml Mr Black coffee liqueur and upped the sugar syrup (2:1 demerara) to 15ml -- absolutely delicious!
Oops so apparently I just made an Espresso Rumtini -- either way, v nice :D
