I’m having a remarkably craptastic week (it’s only Wednesday!) so I made a tea cocktail when I got home yesterday afternoon. If I had cake or cookies or ice cream or any sort of sweets at home, I would’ve eaten them for dinner. Seriously, so bad.

Cranberry Pear (steeped as you would for a latte) + brown sugar + Bailey’s + almond milk, over ice.

Sweet merciful heavens, I die.

So that’s why my tea cocktails always turned out poorly- I never steeped it strong enough! Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I’d definitely experiment. I made a big drink (a bit over 16 ounces), and it was essentially a latte with Bailey’s added so that’s why I steeped it the way I did. YMMV, especially if you’re using a really strong tea to begin with (like a chai). But this is mostly fruit with a a fairly weak black tea base, so I figured stronger would be better. :)

This cocktail sounds very delicious. Hope your week gets better, starting immediately.
