Your Holiday Tea Cocktail Recipe
Captain Grey
4oz piping hot organic Earl Grey tea
1.5 oz Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
0.25 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp organic honey
Pre-warm a cognac glass with warm to hot water. Steep Earl Grey tea for 3-5 minutes in a mug with water just off the boil. Empty cognac glass, then add tea, rum, lemon juice and honey. Gently stir and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Your Inspiration
I was inspired by the classic hot toddy. Over the years it has become a staple in our house, as we live in Central New York where we typically get over 100" of snow each winter. I've been experimenting using different teas and different spirits. This particular variation is a big hit with my wife.
Advice
- I like to use a cognac glass as it quickly warms your hand, and the wide mouth of the glass makes it easier to enjoy the delicious steam of the cocktail as it rises in the air.
