A large glass pitcher filled with a golden-hued beverage, garnished with lemon wheels and served in smoked-salt-rimmed glasses on a wooden table.

Ingredients

4 cups water
1/2 cup roasted corn kernels or 4 sweet corn tea bags
1 cup fresh lemon juice (approx. 5-6 lemons)
1/2 cup vanilla simple syrup
24 ounces spicy ginger beer, chilled
1 tablespoon smoked sea salt (for rimming)
2 cups ice cubes
Lemon wheels for garnish

Instructions

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Add the roasted corn kernels or tea bags, remove from heat, and steep for 10 minutes.
Strain the tea into a large pitcher and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla simple syrup until well combined.
To serve, moisten the rims of 8 glasses with a lemon wedge and dip into the smoked sea salt.
Fill the pitcher with ice and slowly pour in the chilled ginger beer, stirring gently to combine without losing carbonation.
Pour the cooler into the prepared glasses and garnish each with a lemon wheel.
