My mom always made these when I was growing up. I have no idea where the recipe came from, but everyone loves them. They're very simple and yummy. My family always digs into them before they're cool so we tend to eat lots of crumbs instead of bars, which is just fine with us.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of scotch: Not all scotches are created equal. When making scotch tea, it's best to use a scotch that is smooth and mellow, with a light smoky flavor. Avoid scotches that are too peaty or heavily sherried, as these can overpower the delicate flavors of the tea.
  • Use freshly brewed tea: The best scotch tea is made with freshly brewed tea. Avoid using tea that has been sitting around for a while, as it will have lost its flavor and aroma.
  • Add honey or sugar to taste: Scotch tea is traditionally served without sugar, but you can add honey or sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist adds a refreshing citrus flavor to scotch tea. It's also a traditional garnish for this drink.

Conclusion:

Scotch tea is a delicious and warming drink that is perfect for enjoying on a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover scotch. If you're looking for a new and unique way to enjoy scotch, give scotch tea a try. You won't be disappointed.
