How to make Whiskey Tea

Many years ago, when I had just started working on board cruise ships, my Filipino Manager at the time, would order from the bar, a ‘Chivas and milk’.  I put this strange mix down to being from another part of the world and figured what the hell!  I gave it a go…..no bad…….but not great.  Strangely enough, the taste of the whiskey was not totally lost; it just meant that the sharp whiskey bite was soothed straight away, by the milk.

Last night, I was at New York’s Prime 333 having the (and I really do mean ‘the’ best Porterhouse steak EVER) with an old ship  friend of mine, when he started bringing up all the various cocktails we had invented together (recipes coming soon).  Whilst blurting out our comparison lists, he mentioned that his Grandmother had joined him in his quest to find the ultimate cocktail.  Her attempt……well, you can see below.

I am currently out of Irish Whiskey, so figured I will try the recipe below, with a shot of Knob Creek, and some good ol PG Tips.  I’ll be right back!!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 tea bag (regular flavor)
• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) Irish Whiskey
• Milk
• Sugar to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour boiling water into a mug, and place the tea bag in to steep for about 1 minute.
2. Remove and discard the tea bag. (Or use it to clean the burnt underside of your saucepans!)
3. Pour in the whiskey, milk and sugar as desired.
4. Stir, drink and chillax.
