Found this drink in the Bon Appetite magazine. Great on a hot summer's day.

Method

Bring three cups of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, add the tea, and let it steep for three minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, then return tea to saucepan. Add ginger, orange zest, sugar, and half a cup of mint; return to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Let cool.

Strain tea syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on solids, then discard solids. Stir in gin and lemon juice and chill until cold, for about an hour.

Pour into rocks glasses filled with ice garnished with lemon wheels and mint sprigs, and serve.
