6 to 8 Fresh mint leaves, plus a sprig for garnish

Ice

1 cup Lemon Pure Leaf Iced Tea

Cold club soda

Candied ginger, for garnish

1/2 cup Fresh ginger, thinly sliced

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup water

Preparation:

In an old fashioned glass, muddle ginger simple syrup with mint leaves. Add ice and Lemon Pure Leaf Iced Tea; stir well. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with a slice of candied ginger and a sprig of mint.

To make a cocktail: Add 1.5 ounces overproof Kentucky bourbon before adding the tea.

In a saucepan, combine the ginger, sugar, and water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and then set aside to cool. Strain the syrup and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.
