During the darkest, coldest months of the year, we find ourselves craving one thing most: sunshine. And while that particular commodity might be hard to come by, we found one that isn't.

Enjoy as is or with a splash of AMASS Dry Gin or Vodka.

Hibiscus Sun

3 oz White Peony Tea (Bai Mu Dan), chilled
1 oz Hibiscus Agave Syrup

To make the hibiscus agave syrup, bring water to a boil and steep hibiscus tea for 10 minutes. Add agave and stir to combine before bringing to a boil. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes on low heat. Strain mixture into a mason jar and let it cool to room temperature before using.
