My tea cocktail of the day.
Prosecco Oolong.
Make a strong Oolong with little water, hot not boiling.
Strain after 5 mins and let cool.
Add about 2cm to a glass of Prosecco.
Enjoy.
If your up for something a little more challenging try this one. From this mornings BBC Something For The Weekend show. . . .
