Brewed tea is an easy way to infuse complex flavors into warming winter cocktails. This libation uses two tea bags for a double-strength brew.

Yield
Makes 1 cocktail

Ingredients

    • 2 bags ginger tea
    • 1 1/2 ounces maple-flavored bourbon (such as Knob Creek Smoked Maple)
    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • Lemon peel (for garnish)

Preparation

    1. Pour 3/4 cup boiling water over tea bags in a mug. Let steep 5 minutes, then remove tea bags. Stir in bourbon, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Garnish with lemon peel.
  2. Do Ahead
    1. Tea can be steeped 5 days ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat before serving.
Cooks' Note:
If you can't find maple-flavored bourbon, substitute regular bourbon and add an extra teaspoon of maple syrup.
