Simple Spiked Sun Tea
6 cups water
5 black tea bags (Luzianne preferred)
1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup bourbon (adjust to taste)
1 large orange (slice into rounds)
1/2 cup fresh mint
ice
Fill large glass pitcher with water and tea bags. Sit in sun & allow to steep for 2 hours or until desired strength is reached. As the tea steeps, fill an ice cube tray with diced mint, add water and freeze until solid. When tea is ready, remove tea bags and let cool to room temperature. When cooled, add bourbon, simple syrup and mint ice cubes. Mix. Garnish each glass with an orange wheel.
That sounds delicious! I'm going to try it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that would almost combat the heat here in the valley of Sunstroke during the summer months!
