We love all tea cocktails. But this one was created specifically for those moments when you want to treat yourself like royalty. While there is some disparity on the exact ingredients that were originally used to create this recipe, it is widely believed that this simple punch recipe was a favorite of Regent Prince George August Frederic (later to be known as King George VI, late husband of the current Queen Mother). Regent Prince George was known to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in his early years, so if you want to live like an indulgent royal for a moment, give this green tea cocktail a try.
