Earl Grey Infused Gin = Tea Time

Or Gin...

Bodum

Inspired by an Anglophile's dream cocktail at Beatrice & Woodsley called Tea Thyme, Joseph and I ventured into brewing our own Earl Grey infused gin. It was rather simple ~ use a frugal gin, such as anything that comes in plastic {Gordon's} then put Earl Grey into a French press with the gin - vuola! 1,2,3 now it is tea time! Joseph made simple syrup and rimmed our glasses with lemon sugar. Divine!
