- 8+ fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, halved
- ½ oz. (15 ml) green tea simple syrup
- 1 cup (250 g) ice cubes, or as needed
- 2 oz. (59 ml) white rum

Green Tea Simple Syrup
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 2 tbsp. quality green tea, sub 2 bags
- 1 slice ginger
- If you don’t already have some, make the simple syrup. Use your preferred green tea, whether it is loose or in bags. Bring the water and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Once simmering, add tea bags or place leaves into an infuser and steep the tea and ginger.
- Once the liquid begins to thicken, remove the saucepan from the heat and continue steeping for another 10 minutes or so. The resulting sweet liquid is herbaceous with a little bite.
- Allow the liquid to cool and place into a jar or squeeze bottle.
