The perfect summer cocktail, this simple, refreshing drink is perfect for long, sunny afternoons. Full of antioxidants and deliciously hydrating, this fantastic and fun Green Tea Mojito can be enjoyed as a cocktail, or just omit the rum for a refreshing iced tea ‘mocktail’.

You will need...

The juice of 2 limes

4 teaspoons of Demerara sugar

Small handful of fresh mint leaves

450ml of Green Tea of your choice. We recommend Sencha or Chun Mee

100ml (4 measures) of White Rum

Method...

Begin by heating your water. For Sencha, the water should be no more than 65 degrees. For Chun Mee, the water should be 80 degrees. Add your tea leaves to the pot, we suggest 3g of tea per cup. Pour over your water and brew for 4 minutes.

When infusing Japan Sencha tea, we advise not to stir the leaves in the pot. As this tea is very delicate, stirring the leaves can release too many tannins which will affect the flavour and could make the tea bitter. Instead, leave the tea to rest and release its natural sweetness.

After 4 minutes, remove the tea leaves or decant the tea from the pot to avoid over brewing. Our Hario ChaCha Kyusu Maru Glass Teapot are a great and practical option for tea making. Their large, removable baskets allow you to easily lift away the tea leaves once brewed and save them for a further infusion.

Now that the tea is brewed, add 2-4 teaspoons of brown sugar to sweetening the tea to your preferred taste. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and then leave the sweetened tea to cool.

Once cooled, we add the remaining ingredients. This cocktail is great for entertaining as it can be made up as a pitcher.

Add ice, mint leaves and lime juice to the jug and muddle together with a wooden spoon. Make sure to smash the mint leaves a little to release their fresh flavour into the lime juice.

Next, add your rum, followed by the sweetened green tea and stir. (If you’re opting for a virgin Mojito, just miss out the rum!).

Pour over a tumbler of ice with mint leaves or slice of lime to garnish.


And voila! Its simple as that!

I love entertaining I have 4 children lots of friends so I like my house to be busy full of people at any opportunity!  The key for me at a supper party is to be prepped I don’t want to be slaving over the stove whilst all my guests are having fun so slow cooked dinners, and having a pre-prepped dessert is super easy these chocolate pots have been in my recipe book for over 20 years from Jamie Oliver’s second cook book!
