The blueberry tea is a cocktail made from tea and liqueurs. It is served hot and could be considered a variant on the hot toddy. Its name derives from its fruity taste, which some compare to blueberries.
Preparation
[edit | edit source]A blueberry tea is usually served in a brandy snifter, to concentrate and hold the alcohol fumes released by the tea's heat. Ingredients are typically[1]
- 1 oz. Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 oz. Amaretto liqueur
- Hot Orange pekoe tea to taste.
Preparation is simple -- Add both liqueurs to the snifter and then fill with hot tea to taste. Swaddle the brandy snifter in serviettes or a cloth to protect the hands. Some suggest a sugared rim, or adding sugar to the tea, or a lemon garnish.
Variations
[edit | edit source]- Made with Earl Grey tea instead of Orange pekoe.[2]
- Made with actual blueberry fruit tea or other herbal tea, and less Grand Marnier[3][4]
- Full moon #2, blueberry tea without the tea[5]
