Chamomile Iced Tea

The explosion of tea in both hot and cold format in Australia has been huge in the last 10 years. Think about how easily English Breakfast, Earl Grey and colder infusions like Peach Iced Tea and Mango Iced Tea roll off the tongue. Tea goes way beyond function and brings about delicious and complex flavours in our simple, try at home, Chamomile Iced Tea cocktail.

Quick Guide

What is it?
Our Chamomile Iced Tea cocktail is an infusion of flavours of chamomile tea, lemon juice, scotch whisky, triple sec and soda water.

Where is it from?
In the US, iced tea makes up about 85% of all tea consumed and is very popular as an alternative to carbonated soft drinks. It is no coincidence that mixing this with the prominent US spirit, bourbon, has also taken off.

What does it taste like?
This cocktail is mild. The flavours are mild, chilled, relaxed. It is a very refreshing way to end a day out in the sun.

Tip

If a rich and smoky scotch whisky isn’t to your liking then this can easily be swapped for a bourbon if you'd prefer that.
