• 2 ounces vodka
• 2 ounces strong green tea
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Lime or Lemon wheel

In a shaker, combine 2 ounces vodka, 2 ounces strong green tea (cooled), 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp. simple sugar syrup (see below). Shake and strain into a tall glass with ice. Garnish with lime or lemon wheel.
