The strained liquid gets mixed with club soda and gin for a lightly alcoholicbrunch drink.
If you prefer to serve it alcohol-free, swap the gin for more club soda.
If you want to mix it up a bit, swap in basil leaves for the mint.
Simmer, undisturbed, for 2 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in club soda and (if desired) gin.
