Gemini & (No) Gin
A non-alcoholic, pomegranate, mint beverage inspired by the Gemini Moon to be enjoyed at any time of the year, for creativity, insight, and innovation.
Ingredients
- 10-15 seeds fresh pomegranate add more depending on the desired tangy-ness
- 7-10 leaves mint this will depend on the size
- 1 ounce earl grey simple syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar to hot water + earl grey tea bag)
- 1.5 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 1-1.5 ounces soda water
Instructions
- In glass, muddle pomegranate seeds and mint in the earl grey simple. Notice the energizing pomegranate mix with the mint and earl grey, turning the elixir red. Add lemon, fill the glass with ice, and then top with soda.
Notes
You may wish to add in an organic orange peel in the muddling process. Alternatively (or additionally) you may wish to add an orange soda water instead of normal soda water.
For a super easy earl grey simple syrup - set a tea kettle to boil. Prepare your earl grey tea bag (or none, if you wish to have just simple syrup) in a mason jar. When ready, measure out about 1/2 cup or desired amount of hot water and pour over the tea bag. Let steep for 5 minutes, then measure out the exact same amount of sugar, and stir into the tea. Let cool and then its ready to use! It's as easy as making tea + adding some sugar.
