Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1-2 chamomile tea bags
  • 3 ounces fresh grapefruit juice (about half of 1 grapefruit)
  • 2-4 tablespoons chamomile honey syrup
  • 2 ounces tequila (omit to make a virgin version)
  • 4 fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • sparkling water (for topping off)
  • crushed ice

Method
 

  1. Make the Chamomile Honey Syrup: Combine 3/4 cup water and 1/3 cup honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil, simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  2. Steep the tea: Add 1-2 chamomile tea bags to the hot syrup. Cover and steep for 5-10 minutes. Remove tea bags and let the syrup cool completely. Store in the fridge.
  3. Prepare the drinks: In a glass, add 3 oz grapefruit juice, 2-4 tbsp chamomile honey syrup, 2 oz tequila (if using), and 4 sliced strawberries.
  4. Muddle the strawberries: Gently muddle the strawberries in the glass with the syrup and juice until they release their juices and are lightly smashed.
  5. Add ice and top off: Fill the glass with crushed ice. Top off with sparkling water.
  6. Stir and serve: Give the drink a gentle stir. Taste and add more chamomile honey syrup if desired. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
