Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2 chamomile tea bags
2 oz. barrel-aged Old Tom Gin
1 large egg
1 to 2 dashes Bolivar or Angostura bitters
Chamomile flowers, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1Make chamomile syrup: Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Steep, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes. Discard tea bags; cool completely.
2. Step 2Combine gin, egg, and 3/4 ounce chamomile syrup in a cocktail shaker; top with ice. Cover and shake vigorously, until thoroughly combined and very foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain into a coup glass and garnish with bitters and chamomile flowers, if desired. Serve immediately.

Note: This will make about 1 cup chamomile simple syrup — enough for roughly 20 cocktails. Extra syrup can be stored 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator.
