Fruity and refreshing, this strawberry chamomile mocktail is spring in a glass! We love getting creative with RushTush products and thought that a light ice tea drink would be the perfect way to enjoy our new range of teas on warmer days. With extracts of chamomile, lavender, and vanilla, this tea pairs perfectly with the zestiness of grapefruit juice and the sweetness of honey.
INGREDIENTS:
CHAMOMILE HONEY SYRUP
FOR THE DRINKS
- 1/3 cup fresh grapefruit juice (about half of 1 grapefruit)
- 2-4 tablespoons chamomile honey syrup
- 4 fresh strawberries sliced
- sparkling water
- crushed ice
METHOD:
CHAMOMILE HONEY SYRUP
In a small saucepan, combine the water and honey. Bring to a low boil and then allow to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add one or two RushTush Calming Tea tea bags (depending on how strong you want it). Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the teabag/s and allow syrup to cool.
FOR THE DRINKS
Add grapefruit juice, chamomile syrup, and strawberries to a glass. Use a muddler or spoon to slightly mash the strawberries. Add a handful of ice and top off with sparkling water. Give the drink a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh chamomile flowers and more strawberries.
