Vulcans were probably not huge on intoxicants, which is why this recipe for a refreshing and mentally invigorating iced tea contains only a blend of three teas with verjus, the nonalcoholic juice of unripe wine grapes. It’s a great way to get some refreshment before a smug and self-satisfied meditation session.

This recipe originally appeared as part of “5 ‘Star Trek’ Cocktails to Try at Home.”

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Sencha tea
  • 1 tbsp Licorice root tea
  • 1 tbsp Hibiscus tea
  • 6 oz Boiling water

Steps

  1. Add the three teas and boiling water into a large mug, and infuse for 4 minutes.
