Pu-Erh Old Fashioned Recipe

• :
• 1 cup (8 ounces) bourbon
• 2 tablespoons loose leaf Pu-erh tea
• :
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3 dashes Angostura bitters
• A few drops water
• 2 ounces Pu-erh infused Bourbon
• Garnish: Lemon twist (optional)

1. : Combine the tea and bourbon in a jar and cover the jar. Let steep at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain the tea leaves and discard. Store infused bourbon in a sealed jar.
2. : Put the sugar in an old fashioned glass then add the bitters. Add just enough water to saturate the sugar and muddle the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. If you don't have a muddler, use the end of a wooden spoon handle. Add the bourbon and top with ice. Stir 10 seconds to chill and combine; garnish with lemon twist if desired.
