Scale back to 1/2 cup bourbon if you prefer a less spirited beverage. This brew smells wonderful as it simmers. Ingredients:
6 cups water |
2 large-sized tea bags |
2 cups fresh orange juice (about 4 oranges) |
6 tablespoons honey |
4 whole cloves |
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks |
2 (2-inch) strips lemon rind |
3/4 cup bourbon |
Directions:
1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan, and remove from heat. Add tea bags to pan; cover and steep for 5 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add 2 cups orange juice and next 4 ingredients (through lemon rind); bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain tea mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, and discard solids. Stir in 3/4 cup bourbon.
