Super Bowl Sunday is finally here and for party planners everywhere, it's "game on". Time to put out that yummy food fare of glazed wings, little smokies and meatballs to go with your favorite beverage, adult or otherwise.
If you're a tea lover looking for a new cocktail, here's a recipe incorporating tea & whiskey:
*ROYAL MAPLE TEA
(makes 8 servings)
Ingredients
10 cups water
8 tea bags (good quality hearty black tea)
1 navel orange
4 whole cloves
Sugar
1 1/2 cups whiskey, Crown Royal Maple
Ice cubes
8 orange slices/wedges
Directions
1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat; add tea bags, 3 wide strips of orange peel, and cloves. Let steep for 4 minutes. Remove tea bags, orange peel and cloves. Sweeten to taste. Allow to come to room temperature.
2. Juice navel orange and add to tea. Add whiskey. Transfer to a large container.
3. When ready to serve, fill large glasses with ice, top with tea and garnish with orange slices.
And here's one more:
This Amaretto tea is much like a chai spice tea - but with an Italian kick!
AMARETTO CHAI SPICE TEA (makes 1 serving)
Ingredients:
6 oz. of Masala Chai brewed and cooled
2 oz. Amaretto
1 – 2 oz cream/half & half
Serve "on the rocks" or add to a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Give a few shakes, strain and pour into a martini glass.
Hope it's a great day for all enjoying the game with family & friends.
Please drink responsibly!
