Take the pan off heat.  Add the tea bag to the simple syrup and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bag. Cool the simple syrup completely before using in cocktails.

Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 15 seconds. Fill 2 cocktail glasses with ice. Strain the drink into the glasses. Top each with prosecco and serve.

Chef's Note:

1. Get creative with tea Flavours and garnishes! Each tea will lend a different flavour and colour to this cocktail. We like using floral teas, like hibiscus or rosehip, for a bright colour with a refreshing taste. Try garnishing with lime peel or edible blooms!
