This shochu recipe is made by adding green tea to shochu liqueur and allowing it to infuse for one month. A boozy way to cool down in summer.

Ingredients

90g sencha green tea

470ml shochu

Method

Prepare the jar: Start by preparing a sterile jar. Clean, pre-sterilised mason and jam jars are available for making preserves, but if you can’t find one of these don’t worry. Get a lidded jar large enough for your shochu, place in a bowl with the lid and cover with boiling hot water. Leave to sit for a few minutes, then drain and dry.

Infuse the ingredients: Add the sencha green tea to your jar, then pour on the shochu. Leave to infuse for 1 month.

Enjoy: It’s time to enjoy your Summer Scorcher Green Tea Shochu. You can drink it neat on the rocks or with a splash of hot water, alternatively use it as the base for a green tea cocktail.
