Description

25-6 Health Issue
Entertaining the Bakersfield Way by Miles Johnson
To lunch or not to lunch, that is the question. What if it's too early for lunch and too late for breakfast? Easy answer: you brunch!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup fresh-brewed green tea for each guest/serving (about two servings per guest)
  • 1/4 Cup freshly-squeezed fruit juice of choice
  • Honey to taste
  • 1 oz. vodka (optional)
  • Splash of club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Thinly sliced fruit garnish and mint leaves if desired

Methods/steps

Fill a tumbler or iced tea glass to the rim with ice cubes. Add green tea, fruit juice, and vodka (if desired). Fill the rest of the glass with club soda, garnish with fresh fruit or a sprig of mint, and serve! I like to keep a small pot of honey or raw sugar readily available for the sweet-tooths.
