Ginger Palmer Mocktail Recipe
Ingredients for 1 serving
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. organic green tea of choice
1 tsp. organic dried ginger root
1 forest grown ginseng leaf, crumbled (optional)
Crushed ice
1/2 oz. simple syrup made with organic oregano leaf
2 oz. organic lemonade
1 oz. ginger beer
1 organic lemon wedge
Directions
Bring water to boil.
Put next three ingredients into a disposable tea filter.
Once water has come to a boil, remove from heat and steep herb-filled tea filter in water for 6-8 minutes, or until desired strength. The flavor should be much more concentrated than for a typical cup of sipping tea to ensure the herbal goodness shines through.
If time allows, let the tea cool to room temperature.
Fill highball glass with crushed ice.
Add 3 oz. of cooled tea, lemonade, and simple syrup to glass. Stir.
Top with ginger beer and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Pro Tip: While this recipe is designed to be alcohol-free, it is also delicious with 2 oz. vodka.
Inspired by the Douglas fir-covered hills of Oregon
