Check this out. Very intriguing & best of all replicable for us to experiment with:



I'm thinking of putting some earl grey tea in my airstill infusion basket to mess around with a small batch! :D

I always enjoy iced bourbon and strong sweet tea with lemon.

Sounds good.

Mixed together or sip for sip?

Sun tea, unsweetened, with lemon plays well with bourbon.

Sweet tea was a hot item on the forum some five plus years ago and got a lot of interest. I remember members commenting on which tea bands were the best to use. I was making it for a while, not sure why I stopped as my wife really liked it.

I’ve done this with my grain whiskey infused with Darjeeling tea. In 30 minutes, gives nice colour and aroma.
It reminds me of nice single malt whiskies
