Grape Tea Fizz

This grape tea fizz is the kind of drink that looks like it took more effort than it did purple, bubbly, and absolutely beautiful in a tall glass. The base is brewed tea sweetened with grape and the sparkling water on top adds a lightness that makes it feel almost fancy. It is wonderfully refreshing served over ice on a warm afternoon. The layers stay distinct for a few minutes before blending, so pour it in front of someone for maximum effect. This is the drink for summer entertaining when you want something special without any fuss.

Ingredients

• 3g green tea powder
• 30g hot water
• 2–3 chopped grapes
• Simple syrup or osmanthus syrup
• Grape soda

Method

1. 1 Whisk the green tea powder with hot water until smooth and fully dissolved. Set aside.
2. 2 Add chopped grapes to the bottom of a glass.
3. 3 Fill the glass with ice, simple syrup, and grape soda.
4. 4 Slowly pour the prepared green tea over the drink to create layers.

Tips & Notes

Use fresh Concord grapes if you can find them for the most vibrant colour and flavour. The tea base can be made ahead and chilled. Top with sparkling water just before serving so it stays fizzy. This drink is beautiful served in a clear glass so you can see the layers.
