Moroccan Green Tea Mojito - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Green Tea Simple Syrup
1 cup very strongly brewed gunpowder tea
1 cup sugar
Mojito
1 1/2 ounces white rum (I prefer gin, which works just as well)
3/4 ounce simple syrup
sparkling water
1 dash bitters
2 sprigs mint
ice cube

Preparation

For the syrup:
In a medium sauce pan, combine two ingredients and stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring tea mixture to a light boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a half of the original amount to create a syrup. This will take 15 minutes or more, depending how thick you want your syrup. Let cool.
For the drink:
In a cocktail shaker, combine rum, simple syrup, bitters, and a sprig of mint. Shake well. Pour into your glass (with or without ice cubes) and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and enjoy.
