Raspberry Mint Cooler

A sweet  twist on a classic green tea. Our  Raspberry Mint Cooler is lovely and refreshing on a hot day. 

 

To make the cooler

  1. Sprinkle the loose tea into a saucepan along with the caster sugar.
  2. Pour in 200ml water and place over a gentle heat. Heat the water to a gentle simmer.
  3. When the sugar has dissolved, add the raspberries and continue to gently cook for a further 5 minutes until the raspberries fully break down.
  4. Pass the raspberry and mint mixture through a muslin cloth, discarding of the raspberry and mint tea pulp.
  5. Using a funnel, pour the syrup into a sterilised, resealable bottle and store in the fridge until ready to use.
  6. When serving, mix half the syrup with 1lt cloudy lemonade, crushed ice and fresh raspberries and mint - this will make approximately 8 servings.
  7. Reseal the bottle and store the remaining syrup in the fridge for 7 days.
Note: For an alcoholic version, this works well with clear spirits such as vodka and gin.
