While any black tea will do for this recipe, earl grey is a natural fit. It is essentially black tea flavored with bergamot, a citrus fruit with similar flavors tobitter orangeand lemon. Accenting a small pour of earl grey with orange and sugar and serving it up in a rocks glass with a twist of orange rind leaves an elegant drink that elevates your typical iced tea.
Ingredients1 tablespoon loose leaf Earl Grey tea or 2 tea bags1 orange2 dashes of Angostura bitters1 teaspoon sugarWater
Ingredients
Preparation
Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil and allow it to cool for a minute. Steep the Earl Grey tea for 3 to 5 minutes. If using loose-leaf tea, strain out the leaves. Let cool and refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble the drink.Add sugar and bitters to a rocks glass. Cut a slice of orange and squeeze in about 1 teaspoon of its juice—just enough to saturate the sugar.Stir the mixture until the sugar is mostly dissolved.Fill the glass with ice. Add a quarter cup of the brewed Earl Grey tea. Stir a few times until the drink is chilled.Remove a strip of the orange rind using a vegetable peeler. Twist the rind to release its oils over the drink, glide it over the rim of the glass, and drop it in.Repeat steps 2-5 with the rest of the tea to make more servings of the mocktail.
