Ginger Mule
Make a batch of this spicy drink to serve hot, from a slow cooker or teapot, or cold, from a pretty pitcher. Use vodka to showcase spicy ginger flavour, gin to highlight botanical notes or whisky or rum to add warm caramel tones. Makes 8 drinks Ingredients:
4 cups (1 L) ginger tea
1 oz honey, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon or whole lime, about 2 tbsp (30 mL)
8 oz vodka, gin, whisky or rum
Fresh rosemary sprigs to garnish
Fresh cranberries or herbs, candied ginger or citrus slices to garnish.

Prepare ginger tea according to package directions. In a heatproof container, combine honey with hot tea and stir until completely dissolved. Add citrus juice. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. For cold drinks, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
