Rosa Mint julep

Ingredients

Calm + Collect Herbal infusion - ½ cup

Spring fresh mint

Rose petals (optional)

Rose Simple Syrup - 2 teaspoons

To make boozy: use ¼ cup of infusion and 1 to 2 measures of Bourbon

First make a cold tea infusion:

To do this pour hot water into a mason jar, add one Calm + Collect tea bag and leave to cool. For best results, infuse overnight in the fridge.

Make rose water simple syrup

• The rose water simple syrup is easy to make!

• Just simmer 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot until the sugar dissolves.

• Remove and let it cool

• Add in 1 teaspoon of rose water… we used this one, which is great!

Gently muddle mint with rose simple syrup in the bottom of a highball or tall glass, fill with a good handful of ice, add in Calm + Collect herbal infusion. You can top up with splash of sparkling water or for a kick add a measure (or two) of Bourbon - garnish with a mint sprig and rose petals (optional)
