You will need...

45ml or 2 measures of Vodka

30ml of your favourite H. R. Higgins Tea

1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon of Agave of simple sugar syrup.

Ice

Lemon to garnish

Method...

For our tea-tini, we suggest brewing your tea with hot water. This will allow a full infusion and will reveal all the characteristics of the tea. It is also much quicker.  You can brew just one cup or a pot. Add your leaves and pour over hot water. As a rough guide, use 100C water for black teas and around 70C water for green and white teas. Leave for three to four minutes to infuse. Once brewed, strain the tea to avoid it becoming stewed and leave to cool.

You can find full brewing information for each of our teas on the website.

Take a cocktail shaker and add a hand full of ice.

Pour the Vodka, tea, fresh lemon juice and syrup into the shaker and shake well until well frosted.

Take your chilled cocktail glass and rim with your syrup before dipping in sugar.

Strain your martini into the chilled glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.

ENJOY!

Cranberry Sauce with Earl Grey Tea

I’ve never understood why anyone would buy a jar of cranberry sauce when making it yourself is so simple — and so much better! Every year, I whip up a batch of this, and it’s always a highlight on the Christmas table. It’s amazing alongside the main meal, but I also love it with melted Camembert or even stirred into gravy for a tangy kick. Nigella’s "Redder Than Red Cranberry Sauce" has always been my go-to, and while I’ve barely tweaked her recipe, I’ve found one little change that makes it even better.

Coffee Meringues with Dark Chocolate Drizzle

I absolutely love meringues! I’ve always wanted to try making coffee meringues, but most recipes recommend using espresso powder. Working for H.R. Higgins, I can’t imagine having instant coffee in the house! So, I came up with my own version using a fresh shot of espresso.
