Homemade Black Tea Liqueur

Since Kahlua Milk exists, I thought that a tea version should work too! I wanted to try it, but around these parts they only sell tea liqueur in big bottles and it's expensive. I had some white liquor left over from making fruit liqueurs, so I sort of winged it to use up leftovers, but the results were pretty tasty.
I recommend using Earl Grey tea, but other flavors should work too. You can use tea bags too, in which case, use about 3 bags. Rock sugar crystals, raw cane sugar or beet sugar should work too. 30 g is not that sweet, but the resulting liqueur is easy to use. If you are going to use the liqueur in cocktails, use up to 50 g of sugar, but it will be rather sweet. The alcohol content is quite high, so be careful not to drink too much. Try it as a flavoring in baked goods. Recipe by Minori105

Steps
- 1
Sterilize a jar with a lid in boiling water. Wipe the inside of the lid with the white liquor (not listed). Put the loose tea leaves in a tea bag.
- 2
Put the granulated sugar, tea pack and white liquor into the jar in that order. Store in the refrigerator.
- 3
It will turn tea-colored in about half a day. Shake the jar once a day to dissolve the sugar. Take the tea pack out after about a week. Squeeze out the tea bag at that time to get all the tea essence out.
- 4
The granulated sugar will dissolve in about 10 days. The liqueur should be ready to consume in about 2 weeks.
- 5
I recommend enjoying this as a cocktail similar to Kahlua Milk. Try it in hot tea, in hot milk, in baked goods, or in any way you like.
