Mocktail Culture

 New York Sour Drink. 

Introduction:

Enjoy a taste of summer with this New York sour mocktail. Flavored with tea, pomegranate, lemon and maple syrup, it’s just as showbiz as the alcoholic version.

Ingredients:

1 tsp Assam tea leaves (50ml tea)

few drops of vanilla extract 

25ml lemon juice

3 tsp egg white 

Ice

10 ml pomegranate juice. 

Method

Pour 150ml boiling water over the tea leaves, stir, then strain straight away. You want a strong, but not stewed tea. Mix in the vanilla extract and leave to cool.

Pour the lemon juice, maple syrup and 50ml of the tea into a cocktail shaker. Stir the egg white with a fork to loosen it, then add 1 tbsp to the shaker. Shake well until the mixture is frothy. Add a good handful of ice and shake again.

Double strain into a glass filled with ice. Top up the pomegranate juice with water to make 20ml, then slowly pour into the glass. Let it settle for a moment – the juice will float just underneath the egg white foam.
