How to make grog at home, basic recipe
Grog is a warming alcoholic beverage that comes from the Misty Albion, because the climate in Great Britain is cool and damp, so it's not surprising that a large number of such hot drinks were invented there. Grog is an extremely simple drink, the ingredients for its preparation are usually found in every home, nothing needs to be bought.
Information
Ingredients
- Black tea2 teaspoon
- Lemon1 piece
- Sugaron taste
- Rumon taste
- Water0.5 l
Directions
Pour tea leaves into a teapot, I prefer using a French press to brew tea, it's convenient to drink tea without tea leaves. Put the tea leaves into the teapot that has been pre-rinsed with boiling water. Bring half a liter of good clean water to a boil and brew the tea. Let the tea steep for a couple of minutes.
Add sugar to taste into the tea, as much as you like. Squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon directly into the teapot, you can squeeze enough juice to lighten the drink. Stir everything until the sugar is dissolved and strain the infusion.
You can also use brandy or whiskey instead of rum, but if you choose rum, it's better to use dark rum. Pour the alcoholic part and immediately drink our grog - it's very good when it's hot. If you want to take it with you on a winter walk or barbecue, or just make it in advance, store the drink in a thermos to preserve its warming effect.
