The blueberry tea is a cocktail made from tea and liqueurs. It is served hot and could be considered a variant on the hot toddy. Its name derives from its fruity taste, which some compare to blueberries.
Preparation A blueberry tea is usually served in a brandy snifter, to concentrate and hold the alcohol fumes released by the tea's heat. Ingredients are typically 1 oz. Grand Marnier liqueur 1 oz. Amaretto liqueur Hot Orange pekoe tea to taste.
Preparation is simple -- Add both liqueurs to the snifter and then fill with hot tea to taste. Swaddle the brandy snifter in serviettes or a cloth to protect the hands. Some suggest a sugared rim, or adding sugar to the tea, or a lemon garnish.
Variations Made with Earl Grey tea instead of Orange pekoe. Made with actual blueberry fruit tea or other herbal tea, and less Grand MarnierBlueberry Tea recipe using actual blueberry tea Full moon #2, blueberry tea without the tea
