Ingredients
2cupswater
ice
4vanilla flavored black tea bags
4ozvanilla flavored vodka
Instructions
Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan or teakettle. When the water achieves a boil, pour the water into a large measuring cup then add the tea bags. Allow the tea bags to steep for approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a generous amount of ice to each glass then evenly divide the tea into the glasses. You may need to add extra ice after the drink is complete.
Add 2 oz of vanilla vodka to each glass, using a shot glass or jigger (you can even ‘eyeball it’ if you want).
Stir and enjoy!
Notes
You can buy vanilla beans in the supermarket for just a few dollars—that’s a lot less expensive than buying a new bottle of flavored vodka!
