Lemony Spiked Sweet Tea

Kicked up with golden rum, this sweet tea is an interesting take on a longtime Southern classic.

This recipe is from "Emeril at the Grill" by Emeril Lagasse.

Ingredients

Serves 8 to 10

  • 7 cups water
  • 6 orange pekoe tea bags
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup Bacardi 151 or other high-proof golden rum
  • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Directions

  1. Bring 4 cups of the water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the tea bags. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and allow the tea bags to steep for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove and discard the tea bags. Add the sugar to the saucepan and stir until dissolved. Add the remaining 3 cups water and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a pitcher, and add the lemon juice and rum. Chill thoroughly before serving.
  3. Serve over ice, in tall glasses garnished with mint sprigs.
