Yin Zhen Elderflower Julep

Pluck the leaves from four of the lemon balm sprigs and use them to rub the rim of the julep cup.

Measure the vodka and combine it with the white tea, allowing it to infuse for several minutes in a spice or tea strainer.

Remove and discard both the tea and lemon balm once infused.

Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and elderflower syrup to the cup. Fill it with crushed ice and stir until the exterior of the cup is frosted.

Lightly slap the remaining lemon balm sprigs over the cup to release their aroma, enhancing the cocktail's fragrance.
