Bourbon Strawberry Tea Tips
- Freeze strawberries to use instead of ice cubes. This way your drink doesn’t get watered down.
- Granulated sugar works, but powdered sugar will dissolve more easily.
- Or, instead of a squeeze of lemon juice try freshly squeeze orange juice or lime juice.
- To save time you can purchase tea. I recommend Milo’s Sweet Tea or Milo’s Zero Calorie Tea.
- Furthermore, you can make your tea with artificial sweetner to save calories if you prefer.
- Instead of tea, try making this with lemonade! 😍
Yes, absolutely. For this particular drink simply leave out the booze and you’re good to go.
Yes. It’ll take more simple syrup than sugar in your cocktail since simple syrup has water in it. Start with adding 1/3 cup and add more if needed.
Make and chill simple syrup. It’ll keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Simple syrup recipes below.
HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE SYRUP
Simple Syrup is an essential ingredient for many cocktails. It sweetens drinks without having the grit of granulated sugar. I stick with the basic 1:1 ratio of sugar to water.
- In a saucepan combine equal parts water and sugar.
- Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the simple syrup to a glass storage container with a tight-fitting lid.
