Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cardamom pods
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and chopped
- 3 bags black tea (preferably English breakfast or orange pekoe)
- 6 ounces gin
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 5 dashes orange bitters
- Orange and/or lemon twists, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the cardamom pods in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups water, the sugar and ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 10 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a glass measuring cup; if you have less than 2 cups syrup, add hot water. Add the tea bags and steep, about 3 minutes. Discard the bags and cool the syrup to room temperature (don’t squeeze the bags or the syrup will taste tannic).
- Combine the syrup, gin, vermouth and bitters in a large cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until frothy, about 15 seconds, then pour into a pitcher filled with ice. Garnish with orange and/or lemon twists.
