"This is a refreshing kick to start the day," says Aaron Turner.

Ingredients

  • 1 litre hot strong-brewed tea (4 cups)
  • 2 lemons, halved, sliced
  • 375 ml prosecco
  • 200 ml ginger beer
  • 125 ml gin (Turner uses Hendrick’s)
  • 100 ml Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur (see note)
  • 2 limes, halved, sliced
  • ½ cup mint leaves (firmly packed)

Method

Main
  • 1
    Combine hot tea and one-quarter of the lemon slices in a jug and set aside to infuse and cool (30-40 minutes). Strain into a bottle (discard lemon) and refrigerate until required.
  • 2
    Half-fill 2 large jugs with ice and pour lemon-infused tea over. Divide remaining liquids between jugs and stir well. Half-fill glasses with ice, pour iced tea over, garnish with lime, mint and remaining lemon and serve.
