Variations

• A splash of lemon juice can give this drink a bright accent.
• If you like, the ginger tea also works well when served warm, creating a drink similar to the hot toddy. Simply switch from chilled green tea to hot tea. 
• Make this into a big-batch tea drink for a party. Increase the ingredients, Keeping the cognac to tea ratio at 1:2 (1:3 is a good mix, though).
•  A few extra mint leaves can be added to the pitcher and will infuse the drink over time.
