Floral Spritz

This is aperitivo hour done properly. Light, floral, and elegant, the Floral Spritz borrows from the Italian art of dolce vita: good ingredients, minimal effort, maximum pleasure. The 30 Plants Herbal Tea brings the botanical depth that makes this one worth lingering over.

What you'll need:

• 1 tsp The 30 Plants Herbal Tea (steeped and cooled, or used as a cold infusion)
• Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
• Sugar
• Ice
• Sparkling water, to top
• Edible flowers or a lemon twist, to garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Steep the Herbal Tea in just-boiled water for 5 minutes, then leave to cool completely (or cold-brew overnight in the fridge for a cleaner flavour).
2. Add a teaspoon of sugar to a large wine glass or balloon glass.
3. Fill with ice.
4. Pour in the cooled tea until the glass is about 1/3 full
5. Top with prosecco and a splash of sparkling water.
   
6. Garnish with edible flowers or a lemon twist if you're feeling fancy.
   

Floral, lightly sweet, and easy.
