01
What you’ll need
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 jasmine green tea bag
- 3/4 cup chilled freshly pressed unfiltered apple juice, made without animal-derived clarification agents
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons aquafaba from unsalted or low-sodium chickpeas
- 1 small pinch fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes, for shaking
- 1/4 small Granny Smith apple, cored and very thinly sliced, for garnish

Mix the drink
- Pour the boiling water over the jasmine green tea bag and steep for 4 minutes. Remove the bag without squeezing, then chill the tea for 30 minutes.
- Add the chilled tea, apple juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, grated ginger, aquafaba and sea salt to a cocktail shaker without ice.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds to build a fine foam.
- Add the ice, reseal and shake for another 15 seconds until the shaker is very cold.
- Double-strain through the shaker strainer and a fine sieve, dividing the drink evenly between the prepared glasses.

Serve it beautifully
The glass, temperature and first aroma all shape the drink. Set those details before the final pour.
- Chill two coupe glasses for at least 10 minutes before mixing.
- Serve the drink straight up with no ice in the glass so the foam remains smooth and the jasmine aroma stays focused.
- Let the poured drinks stand for 20 to 30 seconds so the foam cap settles, then fan three thin green-apple slices on each rim.
- Serve immediately while very cold. Prepare the apple garnish just before serving to limit browning.
