Tea in Toronto
By Monica Chapman,
Sometimes all you can do after a trying weekend is mix yourself something strong. The original Toronto fits that bill for me tonight. But I also wanted to soften the fernet punch a tad, adding a earl grey syrup in place of the usual simple and adding a mint spring instead of a lemon peel to play nice with fernet’s minty kick.
Ingredients:
- Rittenhouse Rye Bottled-In-Bond
- Fernet Branca
Instructions:
To make the syrup, bring a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve all the sugar, bring to a boil, then add a few scoops of loose leaf Earl grey tea or a few tea bags. Take your syrup off the heat and leave it, covered, to infuse for 2 hours. Then either strain out the loose tea or remove the bags. Pour it into a bottle or jar and chill it in the fridge until ready to use.
To make this drink, stir all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a sprig of mint.
