Earl Grey Tea Martini
Lex Nicoleta
Ingredients
- 2 ounces hot water

1 1/2 ounces gin
1 ounce lemon juice
1 1/2 ounces simple syrup
1/2 ounce egg whites
Directions
- Steep the Earl Grey tea in 2 ounces of hot water. Remove the tea bag after about 3 minutes, or else it may start to taste bitter.
- Prepare the simple syrup by combining equal parts honey (or sugar) and water.
- Let the Earl Grey tea cool, then add to a shaker with the simple syrup, gin, lemon juice, and egg whites.
- Shake the mixture first without ice, then with ice.
- Rim a martini glass with lemon juice and sugar, and strain the contents of the shaker into it.
- Garnish with a lemon twist if desired, and enjoy!
