This Irish Breakfast Tea Cocktail uses brewed tea in place of coffee, combined with Irish whiskey, simple syrup, and a lightly whipped cream topping. It is an alcoholic drink intended for adults of legal drinking age.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 fluid ounces Irish whiskey
- 4 fluid ounces strongly brewed Irish Breakfast tea, strained
- 1/2 fluid ounce simple syrup, adjusted to taste
- 1 fluid ounce heavy cream
- A pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon, optional garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Irish Breakfast tea according to its brewing directions. Strain out loose leaves or remove tea bags, then measure 4 fluid ounces of brewed tea.
Choose a heatproof mug or glass suitable for hot drinks and large enough for the ingredients.
Add the warm tea, Irish whiskey, and simple syrup. Stir gently to combine. Do not shake hot liquids in a closed cocktail shaker.
Lightly whip the heavy cream until slightly thickened but still pourable.
Gently pour the cream over the back of a spoon held just above the drink to form a topping.
Add a small pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.
Allow the drink to reach a comfortable drinking temperature before serving.
