Step by Step Method
Step 1
Prepare the tea by steeping for 10 minutes in 2 cups of boiling water. Remove tea bags and let the tea come to room temperature.
Step 2
Place mint leaves in a cocktail shaker and use a muddler to slightly bruise them. You’ll smell the fragrance as the oils release.
Step 3
Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then add the whiskey, peach nectar, orange liqueur, vanilla extract and 6 ounces of the prepared tea. Shake for 30 seconds.
Step 4
Strain each serving into a highball glass halfway filled with ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
