- 50ml Grant’s Morella Cherry Brandy (or kirsch)
- 100ml lemon juice
- 50ml elderflower cordial
- 300ml chilled jasmine tea (we like the Rare Tea Company Silver Tip Jasmine Tea, from Waitrose, delis and rareteacompany.com)
- Dash of Angostura bitters
- Dash of orange bitters

- 400g ripe strawberries
Method
