Finishing Touch:
Elevate your cocktail with a frothy orange espuma made using a milk frother, creating a light and airy foam that crowns the drink. Serve this sophisticated elixir in a stylish tea cup, cooled with your tea-infused ice cubes, and garnished with citrus spheres for that extra flair.

Adorn your cocktail with dehydrated orange slices and fresh lemon balm leaves. For a personal touch, feel free to customize with additional ginger juice or a variety of pepper to suit your taste.

Serving:
Present your chilled elixir in a tea cup and add fresh orange juice to taste (approximately 1/3 of the cup).
