SOUR MASH and LIME TEA |
This is a delectable variation on a Southern Sour with a twist mix of taste.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 regular-size tea bags (about 1/2 oz. total)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can(6oz) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 12 oz. sour-mash whisky(such as Jack Daniel's), or any good bourbon(about 1 1/2 cups)
- Lime wedges for garnish(optional)
Easy to make:
- IN A MEDIUM SAUCEPAN: Bring 4 cups water to boil. Add the tea bags, remove from the heat, cover, and steep for 15 minutes.
- MEANWHILE: Put the sugar and limeade concentrate in a 2-quart heatproof container (like a large PYREX liquid measure).
- When the tea is ready, remove the tea bags(don't squeeze them) and add the tea to the limeade mixture, stirring to combine.
- Stir in 3 cups cold water, let cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- TO SERVE: Pour 1 1/2 oz of the whiskey into each 12-oz. glass. Add 1 cup of the limeade-tea mixture to each glass. Stir to combine. Add the garnish with the lime wedges, if you like.
