Notes
Cold-brewed green tea makes this cocktail smoother and less bitter. Shake very well to blend the coconut milk. Fine-strain for a silky texture. Vodka is optional—skip for a non-alcoholic refresher. Adjust honey or syrup to your taste, and try agave if you want a different sweetness. Fresh lemon juice is always best for brightness!
