Directions

Boil and steep tea in French press until desired strength. While waiting for tea to steep, add Bourbon to the pitcher, which should be filled ¾ full of ice. Add sliced lemons, limes & lemon juice. When tea is to desired strength, press it and pour slowly over the ice in the pitcher so that the tea melts the ice and cools before accumulating at the bottom.
