Method

Preparation of Herbal Infusion

  1. 1

    Create the Herbal Infusion

    In a small saucepan, combine dried chamomile flowers, dried orange peel, dried gentian root, cinnamon stick, and star anise with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain the Infusion

    After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding the solids. Allow the liquid to cool completely.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass or cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of cold brew coffee, 1 cup of tonic water, and 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add the Herbal Infusion

    Once the herbal infusion is cool, add 1/2 cup of the strained infusion to the coffee and tonic mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Serving the Cocktail
