Evenings become darker and colder. Comfort and warmth are appreciated like never. Grog is a perfect drink for warming up Your soul as well as body. I let myself to step aside from the classic grog recipe (in fact it is quite simple and unremarkable: hot water and rum, that’s how it all began), add spices and make is sweet - that all makes a nice drink for the cooler evenings.
Serves 2:
100 ml rum
300 ml water
1 ½ tsp black tea leaves
1 tbsp cane sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of nutmeg
3 cloves
3 black pepper peas
1) Place spices and sugar in a saucepan and pour over 300 ml of water. Stir to dissolve sugar, bring to boil.
Remove from heat and add tea leaves, cover with a lid and infuse for 2 min.
2) In the meantime, squeeze the lemon juice. Warm up serving glasses rinsing them with boiling water.
3) Strain the infused liquid through a sieve, add rum and lemon juice. Pour into glasses.
For those who love more sweet - add 1 tsp of honey per serving.
