Ingredients
- 1 green tea or black tea bag (I like Tazo China Green Tips)
- 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon (I like Bulleit)
- 1 ounce real apple cider
- 1/2 small lemon
- garnishes: thin, round slices of lemon, a cinnamon stick, and star anise
Instructions
- Bring the water to a simmer and carefully pour it over the tea bag into a standard-sized mug, leaving about an inch of room in your mug for the whiskey and cider. Let the tea steep for a few minutes, then discard the bag so the tea doesn’t get bitter.
- Pour in the whiskey or bourbon and a hefty splash of apple cider (adjust these amounts to suit your tastes). Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and garnish with lemon slices, a cinnamon stick and a star anise. Sip up.
