Sweet Tea Cocktail Mixer Recipe

American · Condiment · 20 min total

A concentrated sweet tea syrup perfect for mixing into cocktails like bourbon sweet tea or spiked Arnold Palmers.

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 6 black tea bags (like Lipton or Luzianne)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (optional, to reduce bitterness)
• 1 lemon, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bags, squeezing them gently. Stir in the sugar and baking soda (if using) until dissolved.
3. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly syrupy.
4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. To serve, mix 1 part sweet tea mixer with 2 parts cold water and ice, or use in cocktails.

Tips

• Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• For a stronger tea flavor, use 8 tea bags.
• Use as a base for bourbon sweet tea: 2 oz bourbon, 4 oz sweet tea mixer, ice, and a lemon slice.
