After a beautiful spring day of yard work and spring cleaning (the kids already got their treat!), I can’t think of a better way to unwind tonight than with a little extreme sweet tea.
This recipe and picture come from The Bitten Word, who got it from Everyday Food:
Bourbon Mint Tea
In a large saucepan, boil 4 cups water. Add 1/2 cup sugar; stir to dissolve. Remove from heat; add 8 teabags of black tea. Steep 10 minutes; discard teabags. Add 4 cups cold water; transfer to pitcher, and chill. Add 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves. Using a wooden spoon, crush mint until fragrant; stir in 2 cups bourbon. Serve over ice.
