Welsh Tea Punch (Adult)

teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 4 to 6

You'll need

• 4 Glengettie Welsh Breakfast tea bags
• 1 litre water at a full rolling boil
• 4 tablespoons runny honey
• Juice of 2 lemons, plus a few slices
• 200ml Welsh whisky or dark rum, leave out for the 0% version
• 1 cinnamon stick and a few cloves, for the pot

Method

1. Boil the water, drop in the 4 bags with the cinnamon and cloves and steep, covered, 4 minutes. Lift the bags out so it does not turn tannic across a pot.
2. Stir in the honey while the brew is hot so it dissolves, then stir in the lemon juice.
3. Pour in the whisky or rum and the lemon slices. Heat very gently if needed but do not boil; you do not want to cook off the alcohol.
4. Ladle hot from a punch pot or heatproof jug into mugs or heatproof glasses.
5. Zero alcohol version: skip the spirit, double the lemon and add a splash of fresh apple juice for body. Stronger version: add an extra shot per glass.
6. A clove studded lemon slice on top is the proper garnish.
