Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz brewed + cooled black tea (assam tea prefered, any black tea will work!)
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 1 oz whiskey alternative (optional)
  • 2 drops Taylor & Colledge's Orange Extract
  • Ice
  • Cinnamon Stick

Instructions
 

  • Grab your glass of choice.
  • Carefully break a cinnamon stick, light one end, blow it out, and place it underneath the glass. Let the smoke fill the glass completely.
  • Once smoked, fill the glass with ice.
  • Pour in the maple syrup, cooled brewed black tea, and whiskey alternative (if using).
  • Add a couple drops of orange extract, then stir well.
  • Garnish with an extra cinnamon stick and a slice of orange.
  • And then? Slowly sip and enjoy!!

Notes

 
  • Use room temperature tea – It helps everything stay cool and stops the ice from melting.
  • Add bitters – A couple splashes of bitters gives even more depth and balances sweetness.
