    Islay Whisky Iced Tea

    This is a really simple iced tea that you can make in 10 minutes using a cocktail shaker, so there's no need to leave the tea to chill overnight.  We first experimented with this method of making iced tea a couple of years ago using our Lapsang Souchong.  Because our Islay whisky tea is made with a proportion of Lapsang, I thought the same technique would work well to create and instant Iced Whisky Tea.  The peaty, smokey earthy notes are quite unusual but very refreshing and a great option for a non-alcoholic drink on a summers day.

    You will need a cocktail shaker for this recipe.

    Ingredients: PekoeTea Edinburgh Islay Whisky Tea Caddy and Islay Whisky Iced Tea in Glass

    1 Tbsp (5g) PekoeTea Islay Whisky Tea

    500ml just boiled water

    A couple of Ice-Cubes

    Lemonade (optional)

    Method:

    Add 1tbsp of Islay Whisky Tea to 500ml of just boiled water, stir and leave to infuse for 5 mins.

    Strain the tea and allow to cool for a further couple of minutes.

    Put a couple of ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and pour in half the tea.  

    Give it a really good shake - the ice should melt and the tea will go all frothy. 

    Pour into a glass and enjoy.  If you prefer your iced-tea a little sweeter top it up with a splash of lemonade.

    Let us know what you think of this recipe.  We'd love to hear from you.
