Bonjour,
I was looking at old family photos, and saw one with my Grand-Mere sitting on the grass in her backyard in Manchester, England drinking tea, not plain English tea but a very interesting combination of Darjeeling tea and sparkling white wine with fresh strawberries. I remember asking her for a taste, and it was very refreshing and very delicious. So with Summer around the corner, I thought you might enjoy this new drink recipe. A votre sante! To your health!
Strawberry cup:
2 oz Darjeeling tea
3- 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups sparkling white wine, well chilled
1 cup cold ginger ale
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
Mint sprigs
Put tea into a pitcher, pour over warm water and let stand overnight to infuse. Strain into a larger pitcher, add wine and ginger ale, stir well. Put ice cubes and strawberries into 8 tall glasses. Pour tea mixture over ice. Garnish with mint.
Serve: 8
