First, to infuse the gin, combine loose rice tea with your preferred gin in a jar, using approximately 1 tablespoon of rice tea per 250 ml of gin.

In a shaker, muddle the Thai basil leaves gently with the simple syrup to release their flavors. 3. Add the rice tea-infused gin and yuzu juice into the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. 6. Top with club soda and give it a gentle stir to combine. 7. Garnish with a sprig of Thai basil and a thin slice of yuzu or lime for a vibrant finish.
