Asian Iced Tea Recipe

Asian Iced Tea
Total Time: Under 5 mins | Active Time: | Makes: 10 tall drinks or 20 to 30 shots

Nick likes to serve this drink as a summer refresher over ice in a tall glass. But we think it’s strong enough to use as a party punch and serve in 2-ounce portions over ice.

Game plan: The tea, sake, rum, and syrup can be combined ahead of time and kept covered in the refrigerator. Prior to serving, add ice and stir.

This recipe was featured as part of both our Spicy Holiday Cocktail Party menu and our Picnic Recipes photo gallery.

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 cups Basic Iced Tea, made with good-quality green tea and without simple syrup
  • 1/2 cup filtered sake, such as Gekkeikan
  • 1/2 cup light rum
  • 1/2 cup Ginger Syrup
  • Ice
  • Grated orange zest, for garnish
  • Crystallized ginger, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine iced tea, sake, rum, and syrup in a large pitcher with ice. Taste and add more syrup if desired.
  2. Pour into iced tea glasses over ice and sprinkle orange zest on top. Float a piece of crystallized ginger on top and serve.

    Now the summer is showing her beautiful face, it's time to consider the cold drinks. Fruit tea is a great option and much healthier than many summer drinks like iced tea and soft drinks from your local supermarket. Here are some easy recipes for fruit tea with friends and family begging for more. When making fruit tea yourself, you can choose everything - the type of tea, I would like to add to it and the amount of sugar / sweetener. In other words, you own your summer tea!

  • thanks for sharing this. Can i use mountain tea instead of green tea?

  • I've been making this since the recipe was first posted. Is always a hit at parties.

  • Has anyone tried this...?

  • great suggestion, chuckmaster!

  • Using Candied Giner Vodka by Modern Spirits would be easy for flavor instead of having to make ginger syrup. You can order it online at mondoliquor.com

  • Wow, both a suppressant and a stimulant in one drink. I foresee a great night followed by a bad morning!
