Whisky Tea Recipe

WONDERFUL...Soothing...Intoxicating! Who can ask for more? I grew up on Russian Lemon Tea with Milk & Honey so this was right up my alley. A friend from Poland suggested adding Whiskey to a sweet black tea when you have a sore throat or are generally feeling sick. It should be sipped while wrapped-up in a warm blanket with your PJ's, or some other comfortable clothes. An excellent brew for rainy nights by the fire or to serve to company as a winter aperitif when you are out of Swedish Glugg/mulled wine (wink). Skoal!

Absolutely wonderful. I've been making this for years, but as a slightly more alcoholic version. I recommend Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur to replace the milk, and Orange Blossom Honey to replace the sugar. Essentially the same thing, smoother with a little bit more of a kick.

M-AZING! I'm not a super fan of whiskey but I substituted Southern Comfort and WOWOWOW! It's FANTASTIC! and not strong at all! Super recipe!!!! If anyone hasn't tried this yet....YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Made it and I love it! Waaay better when made with decaf Irish breakfast tea and Irish mist honey whiskey liquor. I made it the traditional way with just the plain whiskey and it’s good but I def love it with the sweeter side.:)

So warm and soothing! I used a decaf spiced chai tea and honey in place of the sugar. I never cared for milk in tea so instead I added a touch of half-n-half. I felt like I may be coming down with something, but after this, I'm feeling much better! :) Very comforting on a cold, rainy night. Thanks Princey!

Superb! With scotch whiskey Ye Monks, Ceylan tea and fresh Uruguayan milk, it is a kind of prayer at the end of the day, Thanks God, for another day in Paradise!

My great-grandmothers made this same tea (Scottish descent) and it was applied as medicine to many ailments. I had forgotten how useful and soothing it is. My great-great grandmother was born in 1857 in the Bluegrass so Bourbon was often used.

Cinnamon whiskey takes this to the next level. Amazing!

Wonderful! I will certainly add this to my list of go-to solutions when I or my family is stressed, sick, or cold. I used PG Tips and Woodford Reserve. It's bourbon, but that's what I had on hand. It was either that or DH's Lagavulin. I'm not into scotch and I think the peaty taste would conflict with the softer tastes of the milk and sugar.

I've made this a few times but I always use Splenda and a little less whiskey! Also works great if you substitute coffee for the tea! Very good after dinner drink!

I love this tea. I have had it virtually my whole life as this was my mom's 1950's version of night time cold medicine. She used honey as a sweetener and less whiskey (at least for the kids!) Very comforting.

After reading the comments, I can't wait to try this. I've never had milk in my tea but I will try it and I'm also going to try it with twinings black tea and twinings lemon tea both with the honey as well as the whiskey. I might try the Irish honey whiskey that one of the reviews had mentioned, Ooh, I can't wait, See I'm getting so excited right now. So that's five stars right now, Just for my excitement. I'll be back Thank you!

I didn’t change a single thing and it came out perfect.

If you are a whiskey drinker, and like yours straight up, this tea is up your alley. It's strong, lightly sweetend and a nice end to a day. If, however, you want whiskey tea that doesn't taste like whiskey, then this isn't your recipe. I enjoyed it.

My new way of making tea.

loved it!

This was way stronger than I thought I would be with the milk and sugar. It’s a nice treat.

real real good. you should try it, mike

Love whiskey and tea, I add sugar, a bit of lemon juice, and skip the milk. In the cold winters it will warm your icy body.

Perfect combination of ingredients. I love whiskey and am always looking for a different way to drink it. This was heaven. :-)
