This delicious twist on a martini is made with just three ingredients and takes minutes to make. The bergamot oil in the Earl Grey gives a lovely citrus hit

Time 5m

Yield makes 700ml

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 tbsp good loose-leaf Earl Grey tea
700ml bottle of decent gin
ice

Steps:

  • Put the Earl Grey tea in a large jug. Pour the gin over and stir with a long-handled spoon for about 45 secs.
  • Strain the gin through a tea strainer over a funnel back into the bottle. You'll see small particles of leaf still suspended in the gin. Rinse out the jug and, using a coffee filter or some muslin inside the funnel, strain the gin a second time to remove all the particles. In this way, the gin will be stable and the flavour won't change - it'll be good for months and months until the final sip.
  • To serve, shake or stir over ice - I like how the flavours change as the drink dilutes.
