Ingredients

  • 1/2 vanilla bean, split
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 1 cranberry and pomegranate tea bag
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped pistachio kernels
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • 1/2 oz Turkish delight, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp dried rose tea flowers, plus extra for serving
  • 2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 6 oz chilled sparkling mineral water
  • 1/2 tbsp rosewater
  • 1/4 pomegranate, seeds removed
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup fresh mint sprigs
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed ice

Instructions

  1. In a large heatproof container, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the vanilla bean, cinnamon, tea bag, sugar, and boiling water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it stand for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bag and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  2. Meanwhile, spread the pistachios on a plate. Rub the flesh of the lemon wedge around the rim of a serving glass. Dip the rim of the glass in the pistachios to coat. Thread Turkish delight and dried rose tea flowers onto a skewer.
  3. Combine the cooled vanilla mixture, vodka, mineral water, rosewater, pomegranate seeds, lemon juice, mint, and ice in a large serving jug. Pour the mixture into the prepared glass and top with extra dried rose tea flowers. Serve with the Turkish delight skewer.
