0.75 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Orange Pekoe Tea Syrup*
2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
2 Dashes Pomegranate Bitters

*Orange Pekoe Tea Syrup:
1kg sugar
1kg water
50g Orange pekoe tea
Using medium heat, make a traditional 1:1 Simple Syrup. When the sugar is completely dissolved, turn off the heat and incorporate the Orange pekoe tea. Wait 10 minutes and strain the tea leaves. Tea leaves are organic, so the tea syrup needs to be used within 7-10 days.
