Instructions

1. Begin by brewing your Genmaicha loose leaf. Steep 1-2 tablespoons of the tea in 8 ounces of hot water for about 3-4 minutes. Allow the brewed tea to cool and then fully freeze as ice cubes. 1 cup of Genmaicha is sufficient for Green Margarita.

2. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your glass

3. Pour sugar onto a saucer, and dip and rotate the rim in the saucer of sugar, making sure to keep the sugar on the outside of the glass.

4. In a blender, combine the Genmaicha ice cubes, tequila, lime juice, Cointreau or Triple Sec, and simple syrup.

5. Blend on pulse setting until slushy.

6. Pour into your glass and garnish with a mint and lime slice.

7. Sip, savour, and enjoy the delightful fusion of the classic margarita and the tantalising notes of Tavalon's Japanese Genmaicha green tea.
