Zubereitung von Capetown Collins
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 small rosemary sprig. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the syrup reaches a generous 1 cup.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup of rooibos tea. Stir well.
- Allow the mixture to steep for 1 hour, then let cool completely.
- Strain the rooibos syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-cup glass measuring cup. Discard the rosemary sprig and tea leaves.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine ½ cup of the rooibos syrup, ½ cup gin, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Shake vigorously until well-chilled.
- Strain into two ice-filled Collins glasses.
- Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining rooibos syrup, gin, and lemon juice.
