Beyond the Cup: Make Something Tasty with This Puerh Organic Black Tea
Aged Smoky Old Fashioned
Serves 1
Puerh Organic Black tea infuses right into bourbon for two hours, then gets built into a classic old fashioned with a little sugar and bitters.
Ingredients
- For the Puerh Infused Bourbon:
- 8 oz bourbon
- 2 tbsp Puerh Organic Black tea
- For the Puerh Old Fashioned:
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- A few drops water
- 2 oz puerh infused bourbon
- Lemon twist, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- For the Puerh Infused Bourbon: Combine the tea and bourbon in a jar and cover. Let steep at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain and discard the tea leaves, then store the infused bourbon in a sealed jar.
- For the Puerh Old Fashioned: Put the sugar in an old fashioned glass, then add the bitters. Add just enough water to saturate the sugar and muddle until the sugar is dissolved (use the end of a wooden spoon handle if you don't have a muddler). Add the bourbon and top with ice. Stir for 10 seconds to chill and combine, then garnish with a lemon twist if desired.
