1 quart boiled water 1 quart ice water 70 + grams / 2.4 oz+ of fresh mint leaves 7+ grams/ quarter oz of dry hibiscus flowers put into tea bags 8 tablespoons of pure cane sugar /sugar in the raw 2 good scoops of honey (local honey would make it more medicinal) Bourbon
A Note from Jamie
Recipe
“You can find bunches of mint and organic honey at your local farmer's markets. If you have a pollen allergy, then local honey is the added superpower of this drink! Besides the positive digestive properties, mint is a natural method to reduce breastfeeding pain. I love this drink because it's refreshingly light and super healthy. It's a blend of the fresh 'Aguas' we grew up drinking - it's a Mexican sorta thing!”`
Boil 1 quart of water and let fresh mint and bagged dry hibiscus flowers steep for 10-15 minutes or until the leaves drain their oils (nibble on one of the mint leaves it'll be tasteless). Pour over a strainer into a glass pitcher or metal growler and immediately add sugar and honey, stirring until dissolved.
Pour in the quart of ice water and stir.
In a tall glass, add a 3 count pour of your favorite bourbon (bullet is a great option), add ice then the tea. You can add dark berries, and limes to the pitcher for a little more yum!
