Recipe Notes

**You have a bit of flexibility with your choice in tea. You can find a melon tea, to really highlight the melon if you're a fan. You can also use a jasmine tea, or chamomile. David's tea also as an organic kashmiri chai that is a light chai with green tea and cardamom which I think will work PERFECTLY with the cocktail. Just remember to keep away from the oolong's and earl greys, as they will overwhelm the flavours.
