Fighting FOR TILLY’S TEA ROOM
From threat of deportation to the third floor of Saks Fifth Avenue
Ingredients
SERVINGS: Serves 1
- ¼ ounce Tilly’s Loose Leaf Walnut Green Tea
- 2½ cups hot water
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 ounces chilled champagne
Instructions
Pour hot water into a teapot with the loose leaf tea. Let steep for 5 minutes.
Pour through a tea strainer to remove the leaves and transfer the liquid to a 1-quart saucepan. Add sugar and heat to boiling over a medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Turn down to a low heat and gently reduce for 5 minutes, until a light golden syrup forms. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
To make the cocktail, add 2 tablespoons of simple syrup to a champagne flute. Top with chilled champagne. Garnish with blackberries or raspberries, if desired.
