As written: The card splits the recipe across both sides. The “water” mixed with the tea on the back is the boiled and cooled sugar water from the front.
- This is an adult drink with a full pint of gin, so keep it away from kids and label the container in the freezer.
- The alcohol keeps it from freezing solid, so it stays scoopable. Freeze it in a large covered container (it makes about a gallon) for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Leave it out for a few minutes before scooping if it’s too firm.
