Friday Cocktail - Tantric Shock

A valentine's cocktail from my new local paper, the Miami Herald

Yogi Tea is available in natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

FOR THE TEA:

• 1 red apple, washed well

• 2 bags Celestial Seasonings' Red Zinger tea

• 1 bag Yogi Tea Classic India Spice

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

FOR EACH DRINK:

• 1 ounce vodka

Slice and core the apple. Place it in a pot with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add tea bags and sugar. Set aside, covered, to steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain and chill. For each cocktail, combine 2 ounces ( ¼ cup) tea and 1 ounce vodka in a chilled martini glass. Makes enough tea for 8 cocktails.

Cheers!
