Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Brew tea to full strength before adding Amaretto—weak tea will taste thin and overly alcoholic.
Warm the cup first by rinsing with hot water to keep the drink hot longer.
Add Amaretto after pouring hot tea to preserve its subtle aromatic compounds.
Stir gently to combine flavors without cooling the drink unnecessarily.

Substitutions

Amaretto → Almond extract (0.5 tsp per 1.5 oz Amaretto, for non-alcoholic version)
Hot tea → Herbal tea blend (chamomile or rooibos for caffeine-free option)

Storage & make-ahead

Best served immediately while hot. Not intended for storage or reheating.
