Sencha Flip
Dry-shake, then add a few ice cubes and shake again. Strain into a chilled glass.
Adapted from a recipe by Jason Walsh, CocktailLogic.com, Brooklyn, NY.
âThis cocktail was inspired by my adoration of Sencha Japanese tea. Many people use Matcha, however Sencha has more complexity and flavor so I prefer it over Matcha in certain cocktails.â Jason Walsh.

I think it's better to infuse the tea in the gin, as adding all that water to egg white gives you a watery drink. Oh, I also sell sencha: http://www.kentwang.com/sencha-tea.html
Curated this. Cleaned up instructions to avoid copyright issues. Changed 1 ounce of egg white to 1 egg white, and specified a large egg. Added creator information. The cited link calls for sweetened green tea - about how much sweetener (and what kind) would be appropriate here?
Thanks,
